Fate of U - 534

[lesrae]

So I visited this morning, braving the wind, rain and frezing cold

The site's still under construction so I only got to view about 1/3 of the boat, you can get really close to the stern and port side, up to about the back end of the fin.

I took some photos and have stuck them on a page, in case anyone wants a look. They're about 3000 x 2000 res and the whole page is about 11Mb: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/lesrae/u534/index.htm

I haven't had a chance to look too closely at the detail yet, but one thing I noticed was the vertical pipe at the fwd end of the mid section that was cut in half when they cut the boat up - it just struck me as a weird thing to see.

I'll definitely visit again (I'll be back up there on and off for the rest of the year while one of the ships I'm working on is in refit) so It'll be interesting to see what else they do with the site and I'll hopefully get some better quality pics as we're getting a new camera next month.
