The wreck video shows some mighty fine eating hiding in the nooks, crannies and swimming around the wreck.

We watched a WWII submarine show last night. I often wonder what it would be like to bring one of those to the surface, one that was still in tact. Would there still be pockets of air that would preserve history? Are they in good enough shape to restore as a museum piece. It’s just fascinating.

According to last nights movie, the German captain was also a submariner during WWI, and he stated that back then when they went down there would be no guarantee they would come back up. He was referring to how unreliable they were. If true, then I bet somewhere there is a very restoreable one.

Back in my early days (early 60s, I suppose) I remember a story I read in one of the popular magazines.

It involved a group of guys who located a sunken WWI German U-Boat. The sub was intact and not flooded, and what was left of the crew was still inside.

They managed to recover it and put it into working order. Their purpose was nefarious, probably piracy, but I don’t remember how the story turned out.

But I was more intrigued by the sub itself, and what they found inside!
