Not off topic. Neat find. Maybe some family members of the crew can have some closure.

Good point - It also makes me wonder about all of the other boats and ships that are down there. I wonder if they'll ever find them all....

This is rather morbid, but does anyone know what the condition would be of any human remains in a sealed U-boat? A diver friend of mine told me a story of a diver who reportedly entered a U-boat off the Carolinas and found a skeleton wearing a white crusher hat, but I doubt that it was true: If sea life can enter, there probably wouldn't be much left. At least this is my guess. I've never read of remains being found, so I'm supposing that this has something to do with the water pressure and/or sea life.

Any ideas on this?
