Sea Turtle Finds Lost Camera

Here's the vid of the sea turtle chewing on the camera.

The guy who lost the camera, Dick de Bruin, filmed the raising of the propeller of SS Oranjestadt which was sunk by U-156.

Wow, four amazing stories in one!

1. The finding of SS Oranjestadt and the raising of her propellor for a memorial (I came across Oranjestadt just a week or so ago during my research for the Ship Names mod).

2. The whole sea turtle thing. Awesome!

3. The fact that the camera washed up on shore and was found at all.

4. The fact that it was found by a guy who really cares enough to track down the owner and return it.

Great story! Thanks, OTH! :rock:
