February 1994- Chatterton receives a letter from Robert Coppock at the ministry of defence and it states:
"U-869... was [originally] bound for the US East Coast [and] allocated a patrol area... about 110 miles south-east of New York..."
"U-869... may not have received a [new] signal ordering her to Gibralter..."
1st weekend July 1994- 1st trip of the season and the exploration continued though no firm clue to U-Boat identity.
Winter 1994- Chatterton returned to Washington D.C to investigate new intel. in the National Archives- Found intercepted radio messages confirming U-869 at the wreck site.
