On June 22, 1942, observers and shore gunners on Bailey Island reported a submarine on the surface heading east. The Navy sent the destroyer McCalla from Portland. The U-boat submerged, but was hit with a depth charge seven miles east of Halfway Rock. Oil came to the surface, and the next day, bodies of German sailors washed ashore on Small Point.
