Re: Expedition Bismarck 2012
Sorry! I was being stupid before. I agree with research expeditions, but I know that other wreck sites around the world havn't been treated respectfully :( There was a big uproar a few years ago when artifacts were removed from the wreck of the passenger liner Titanic. I usually frown when I hear ab...

Re: Expedition Bismarck 2012

Re: Unluckiest Warship
I agree with what someone said below, Bismarck and Tirpitz. Come on!

I'm finding little on the subject :stubborn: can anyone help please? :?: ...I thougt against putting this in the Bismarck catego...
