These pieces of Kriegsmarine crockery, bottles and other items were recovered by Peter Cornish of the British Sub-Aqua club, who successfully masterminded the recovery of the bow section of the British midget submarine X-7 from Kaafjord in Norway. During the search for the submarine in 1974 the British Sub-Aqua club found two huge mounds of broken crockery, bottles, and other items one from either side of the Tirpitz were discovered on the bed of the lake.

The X-7 Submarine was sunk in September 1943 during an unsuccessful attack on the Tirpitz although several mines carried by the X-7 detonated the ship did not sink. The concussion from the explosions did however break most of the crockery and other items carried onboard and it was dumped overboard after the attack and some of the items ended up of the lakebed after she was sunk.
