Fascinating http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif .....when you click on the photo link (showing the guy on the scaffolding) it really brings it home just how small those boats were.

The black see waters contain very little salt so hopefully the subs will be in a good shape

Yea, that was my first thought actually. That and the pretty odd water composition of the black sea generally should've preserved them in near-perfect shape I think. Personally, I think it would be really awesome if at least one of the boats could be raised!
