Did I read that right they are going to raise the Graf Spee piece by piece?
Anyone have anymore on this?

That's what I gathered from the 2 articles. The stated 25 foot water depth
can't be right though. The comms tower they pulled up looks to be about
20 ft long.

25 Meters


Rob, I was just pointing out that the #'s struck me wrong as reported. A
BBC link also stated, she was scuttled in a depth of 30'(10m)...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4702832.stm

The Admiral Graf drew a 24 foot draft...so she rotted down to the waterline and fell over??? Man!...what passes for news these days...

edit depth..oops
