Surcouf still has not been found altough the almost exact location of the colission is established.
I wonder why, with all that technology and knowhow the presentday recearchers have, they can find Bismarck, Hood, Titanic, Lusitania, Leopoldsville etc etc, and are not able to find Surcouf?. Heck, they even find 3000 year old ships in the Black Sea.
Could it be they are looking for it in the wrong place after all?? After all, the vanishing of Surcouf is shrouded in mistery.
I think a dive, as suggested by Andrew, could'nt hurt. It rules out some wishfull thinking and, on the other hand what if....?? It would not be the first time history had to be re- written. Perhaps NUMA would also be interested?
Kind regards,
