Its waters are remarkably dark and cold, and almost chemically sterile - hence the lack of corrosion or rot or breakdown even of leather - those jackboots and belt are in awesome shape! Wooden shipwrecks have lasted centuries in a similarly well-preserved state in the Black Sea:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2609365/Perfectly-preserved-Nazi-plane-crashed-way-hell-Eastern-Front-bottom-sea.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Larry Edited April 23, 2014 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That is an amazing find. I feel bad for the folks that survived the crash just to succumb while adrift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
