This is interesting news...

German U-boat may be at bottom of Labrador river - Nfld. & Labrador - CBC News

Interesting but highly doubtful. Must be a slow news day for this to hit the wire. Someone want to tell me how the sidescan looks in any way like a Uboat?

BTW it's "Receiver of Wrecks" not "Receiverships and wrecks" for those who care.

No... sorry. Still can't see it. I'll drink a few more beers and try again....

I think it'll take something that comes in a pill form to make a Uboat out of that picture.

What's the hold up with splashing divers in order to confirm or deny?

Ha! Just listened to a clip on the CBC. According to the guy that claims it is a Uboat, the image shows only the conning tower sticking out of the sand - I guess that is the squarish block in the middle of the image. It is also supposed to show wires running from the conning tower in the middle of the image towards the left.

.....hmmm

Not really. It's right by Goose Bay/Happy Valley and...never mind.

Exactly. When you grow up in the great white north that is most definitely not the middle of nowhere. It's right beside the road!
