Abstract: Iris Jones , a recent college graduate and intern at the Museum of History in Wilmington , North Carolina , discovers a reference to a German U-Boat off the coast of Wilmington during WWII while sorting through donations to the museum. The reference , which is in a diary , contains little information , only two names and a vague description of the location. However , after sorting and cataloging more donations , Iris finds a letter to the writer of the diary and learns enough to find the owner of the diary. With help from Nico , Iris's brother , she finds the owner of the diary. However , Iris's search for the German U-Boat is put on hold when she is put in charge of part of the museum's new WWII exhibit. While working on the exhibit , Iris collects flight and captains' logs in the hope of finding more information on the U-Boat. After reading several logs , Iris finds more information on the U-Boat , including coordinates for where it was sighted. With help from Nico , Iris maps the possible path of the U-Boat and creates a search grid. After several weeks of searching and interference from Liz , one of Iris's coworkers , she finds the U-Boat.
