<HTML>Hello,
I heard this story I could not believe from my father who was in cape Vincent, New York at dive shop. cape Vincent is in northern new York where the St. Lawrence river empties into the Lake Ontario. At this marina there was a huge anchor off of a U-boat supposedly. It had swastika and some writing on it. According to a gentleman that had lived in the area his whole life. A U-boat was captured off of Lind island or at least fired upon and the Germans where taken prisoner. According to this man he said they had tried to raise this sub only to ultimatly lose it. Is this possible? I find it had to believe because aren't all world War II subs accounted for. Does anyone have any info regarding this. Is this possible ? This anchor is huge and real
