Yes - a mistake was obviously made with the report about the second sighting. Most likely it was a different submarine being misidentified.

Thanks, for the replies.
I was born in Miami and my Dad worked on Miami Beach during the war. He was Chief Engineer at Ice Plant on South Beach. HIs company supplied Ice to the hotels(taken over by the military) and also some ships of the Navy stationed around Miami. My brothers and I played among the PT boats around the area.
There was a rumor(?) about a sub wreckage off the coast of Florida, that produced flotsam, that included a ticket stub from Gateway theater in Ft. Lauderdale.
I remember my father having to cover his car headlights with tape, leaving a sliver of light, to drive the causeway from Miami to the Beach. Nigh-time driving along the beaches was highly restricted.
Thanks again!
