SUNKEN TREASURES

The blog archive has many hidden depths nowadays and threads seem to have run in and out of it throughout its four years. Frogmen and subs are just such a thread as they are grafted in the DNA of us baby boomers. Supecollector Ferryman sent me these wonderful shots of his frogman collection back in 2009. There's some real Sixties gems here. See what you think.

These bring back memories. I think the one-man sub/propulsion unit originally had harpoon guns on the top?
