The stern of the Sub wasn't visible or we might have figured it out earlier although RobbieRob had it pegged. August also figured out the locks. I didn't know if there were locks there or not back then .

This is a complete hoax, there is no way a U-boat could have penetrated into the great lakes un-detected. There is only one sunken U-boat in lake Michigan, the UC-97. It was a war prize at the end of WWI and brought into the lakes on tour before it was sunk in 200ft of water off Chicago. It's a UCIII type minelayer and was discovered in the 90's by A&T salvage.

http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/ is a satire news site. It is a well done story. Normally, the stories get outlandish enough that you can tell it's fake. This story maintained a reasonable perspective.
