(I only use the above website as it had the best pictures)

Well Im not sure about you but after looking at it and indeed this picture:



I would indeed need to be sorting most of the cargo to take mu mind off some of the constructions of it especially that wooden plank and the metal bindings...

A+ for effort though.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Looks my like someone crashed a petrol tanker into a lake 15 years ago and with a little artistic license, like a bloke standing on the top under a tarp pretending to be a conning tower, a great PR story.

No, they're genuine, there's a documentary about them on Discovery or Nat Geo that's been shown recently, not quite sure why this is news.

just had a thought... this isnt the sub that a PHer was creating is it?

No, that's two 50ft subs, not one 100ft one.

You'd have to have balls of steel to take that out, absolute madness but also rather cool.

No, you'd have to have someone telling you to do it or they'll shoot you.

Someone needs to write in to the drug lords and get a cocaine refund and a letter of apology.

I had heard of it but I must confess my childhood recollection was that the Turtle was the first "submarine" ever used in combat - but Wiki says different !! I just remember the picture of the insides of it and thinking that the "pilot" must be mad to even get in the thing.

Knew it wasn't just me who always wanted a sub!

Craziness. The propeller was hand-driven yet if you look at the diagram on the right, you can clearly see one crew member using a laptop.

iirc these only run semi-submerged because they are diesel engined, or towed behind other boats
