Seehund (pic heavy)
Some of you know I work in the transportation industry. I handle mostly government transportation. My office was tasked to transport a submarine museum that for lack of a better word, foreclosed. The museum was located in Hackensack NJ. The items required transportation to Richmond VA. One item from the museum was a a German Seehund. Here are some pictures of the Seehund loaded to be transported.
I will have other pictures of various other items such as conning towers, etc.

Looks in a lot better shape than the one we saw at the USS Salem a few years back.

It required 10 of our trucks to move the museum.

What does external loaded mean? I thought all torpedo's were externally loaded.
Never mind I read the rest of the story. Wow! Maybe we should do that with new coastal submarines?

it looks like that Seehund was already a museum item during WWII. I have seen a similar Seehund with transparent windows displaying its mechanics, in a picture of a technology fair in Germany during WWII.

AVG, I visited there a couple of times. Yonkers, NY is fairly close by, so it was an easy trip. A real shame what has happened there. Even my wife enjoyed the USS Ling tour. I had hoped that the USS Intrepid could aquire the Ling, and dock her along side like other sub they have there. Very sad to say the least.
