<HTML>Did not the Americans use a captured WW1 german sub as a fundraiser after the war?I recall reading that the sub was taken around the lakes(?) as a war token and to solicit war funds or whatever.I believe that this event led to all the subs in and around the lakes being mistaken for this actual event.Perhaps this is yet another case of wrong sub, in the wrong place at the wrong time..Perhaps the anchor came from the WW1 sub after she was no doubt scrapped.</HTML>
