It is a hoax. The pictures are of a Russian submarine that sank and was recovered in a shipyard in Murmansk, Russia in 2003. The divers are from Nat Geo and the big Rolex on one wrist is there because Rolex helped sponsor/pay for the expedition.

Kinda makes you wonder about the credibility of World News Daily Report....

Given that wwII uboats had a draft of 12 feet and were 27 feet in height that would have been some tricky navigation by the commander of the uboat ( which the picture in the article is not) to go through the thirty locks with a water depth of 14 feet in the old seaway to get into Lake Ontario.

Quite the bs article but a fun read nevertheless.

Did you see one of the other headlines scrolling above? "Osama bin Laden spotted in Riyadh restaurant." So much for the validity of this site.

Total BS. To get to Lake Ontario it would have had to navigate either the Lachine Rapids at Montreal or the Lachine Canal and its locks which, at the time, by-passed the rapids. This was before the St.Lawrence Seaway was built. Neither would have been possible.

how could you see anything below the level of the dash board :oops:

There also were locks and rapids at Cornwall Ontario, west of Montreal. The way shipping was done back then was for the ocean ships to go as far west as Montreal where cargoes were transferred to lake ships which then navigated the old canals and locks up the Great Lakes. At that time Montreal billed itself as the largest inland seaport in the world. Of course, when the Seaway opened in 1956, ocean ships could go all the way to Detroit, Chicago, Duluth and other inland ports thousands of miles from the sea.
