The Grayback’s disappearance remained a mystery even after that, and it wasn’t until 2018, when American Tim Taylor decided to re-investigate the case, that the mystery was ultimately solved. Taylor is the founder of the Lost 52 Project, a private group committed to recovering the remains of the 52 submarines that vanished without a trace during World War II. Taylor is also the author of the book The Lost 52 Project. Taylor graduated with honors from the University of Texas in Austin with a bachelor’s degree in history.
