Wreckage of U-boat sunken by 'sea monster' found off UK
Wreckage of U-boat sunken by 'sea monster' found off UK
(CNN)A German submarine from World War I that was said to have been taken down by a sea monster has been discovered off the coast of Scotland.
Incredible sonar images show the 100-year-old wreck to be mostly intact, and the find has led to the resurfacing of nautical folklore. Experts say the wreckage may be the infamous UB-85, which, legend has it, was attacked by a sea beast during the war.
According to the old tale, the U-boat commander -- Capt. Gunther Krech -- said the submarine had been cruising on the surface of the water to recharge its batteries when a "strange beast" rose from the sea with "large eyes, set in a horny sort of skull." Krech said the animal had a small head, but with "teeth that could be seen glistening in the moonlight," according to a statement from Scottish Energy News.

"There be monsters here"
From old nautical chart
I've seen a lot of strange things during my years at sea, but never anything like described.

My mate in NZ, who owns a nice 30' boat and spends lots of time out at sea fishing, swears that he once saw a mermaid and her buoy -friend .

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

White Squall? I never sailed the Great Lakes in America where these are most likely to happen, but I have seen some microburst style weather without warning off the Pacific coast of Central America. Sudden high wind and sea that could knock a sailboat flat or dismast it. Lucky I was always on stout commercial ships. I have seen the weather in the Gulf of Alaska go from flat calm to high wind and sea in less than half an hour.
Duncan: Sounds like your friend in NZ with the sailboat needed to cut down on the Grog.

The History Channel used to be good, but now has too many reality shows. Watching TV is a nice, easy, safe pastime, but getting out in the real world (and the oceans) is for real men.
