The skeleton, however, is not to scale.

Yes I assumed that. :P I was actually quite glad when it fell off - not that a plastic fish tank ornament is the most realistic model anyway.
Those plastic ships from Hartz (not the more realistic looking warships) used to be air powered too - the stern of the sailing ship would move up and down when an air pump was attached to a little hole on the base of the rock. There were also side and stern paddle-wheelers with moving wheels and a chinese junk that bobbed up and down (I always wanted one of the side-paddlers when i was a kid, but never got one
) I have the feeling that some of those Hartz ships were intended more for the entertainment of the fish tank owner than for the fish themselves. :P
Anyway, thanks for the help in ID'ing those pictures.
EDIT: Look, there are several aquarium U-Boats on eBay now - and none of them ship to Canada.
