U 873 post war photos on Ebay + U47 torpedo recovered from Scapa Fow?

Hi

Eleven photos of U 873 on Ebay, not the most clearest, shows her under trials in the USA. Item number 370062932025.

On Wikipedia, they claim that in 2002 a torpedo fired by U-47 in Scapa Flow had bobbed to the surface, minus its warhead. It was then blown up by the RN.

If this was true why blow it up, is a torpedo still dangerous without its warhead?

Spatz.
