Most are air tight i think you would think the sheer mas would make them sink
If you find one do you get the salvage rights ???

Apparently they usually float just below the surface and cause a massive hazard obviously!

Dam right,
Lucifers, Shark a go-go
and then moved onto Soi 6... Queen vic and Goodfellas.

And then at the end of the holiday sampled Soi 2 as the pièce de résistance.


Spent the rest of the time diving wrecks

I was almost sober but still managed to stay on top of one of the speaker cabs for 2 1/2 hrs dancing in flip flops.. feet were bolloxed by the morning lol.

Too many to try them all, others I did were TQ2's and shark club, nowt to write home about though.

I was being dragged from left to right every few steps I didn't even get chance to look what the places were called.

It probably will sink, but don't you think it might be better if they remove the polluting agents first?

Ships are not loaded with stuff to assist with floatation, its all to do with the air displacement

That's right

The boats are filled with naked men bathing and when the ship threatens to sink, one jumps ship shouting "Eureka" and bouyancy is restored!!

What happened in this instance is that one of said men got it wrong and shouted

"Ulrika, ka, ka, ka, ka" as he jumped, which negated his contribution!!

Could work out lots more though!

Hiding the goods and not giving them back is a criminal offence, with a possible fine of up to £2,500 per offence.

Plus, the hot-fingered beach-comber, would waive their right to a salvage award, and have to pay the owner twice the good's value: "In the case of a BMW motorbike, it could be quite expensive".

Question

Anyone remember that ship that sank in the middle of the English Channel a couple of years ago (last year??) carrying Beemers and Volvos. Never heard anything else about that one.

Anyone bought a rusty 330 recently ??

I'd be straight down there if I lived nearby. It must be a hoot!



Most of the good stuff has gone now. Gonna be a flood of cheap BMW parts on Ebay soon.

Water displacement, not air!

If the weight of the water displaced by an object placed in it, is heavier than the object itself, the object will float.

Hopefully in a month or so when they have finished pumping the ****e out of it and have finished removing the cargo, they will drag it out to deeper water and let it slide away..
I'd recommend marking it's current position though as a certain amount that fell off, probably didn't float.
