A sunken German vessel may have been leaking pollutants into the North Sea for the better part of a century.

The ship was the V-1302 John Mahn, a German fishing trawler that the Nazis used as a patrol boat. The British Royal Air Force bombed and sunk the vessel in 1942. According to a recent study, the wreck that has spent the better part of a century on the seafloor is leaking toxic pollutants into the water.

The research team in Belgium recently took samples from the steel hull and the sediments surrounding the wreck and found that heavy metals and explosives have leaked out.
