On 12 March 2017, the centenary of the sinking of HMS E49, six submariners from HMS VENGEANCE joined Shetlanders and descendants of those who died at the unveiling of a new memorial overlooking Balta Sound, Unst, Shetland Isles.

The information board, in the shape of a sail mounted on a stone plinth, is set in an enclosed paved area overlooking the area in Balta Sound where HMS E49 was lost when she struck a German mine on 12 March 1917. The board bears the names of the 31 submariners who died, as well as information about HMS E49 and the German U-Boat which laid the mine.
