That's a Mighty Weird Lookin' Fish There, Mate
Four foot worth of WWI-era German torpedo will definitely put a crimp in anyone's fishing plans, donchaknow? At first I think it's amazing they're still finding explosives from WWI after all this time. Then I remember just how gleefully Europe went at itself during those years, and I wonder why they don't find more.
an early German submarine torpedo dating to around 1920.
Under the terms of the hateful Treaty of Versailles, the German Navy was prohibited from having submarine fleet. So the 1920 date is probably a couple or three years too late...more likely 1916, 1917, or 1918.
Just sayin'.
