I keep saying the same thing.

Is there a place where lots of Bibers and Seehunds were 
scuttled?

You do have a submarine option, Mark.  Louisiana has in its State
Museum a small sub they can't identify.   It was built during the Civil
War, they assume.  I've been trying to talk everyone into doing
what can be done to identify the source of the iron.  I have all the
drawings  of the thing.  Want to built another one?  I was going to 
build a plywood-and-sheet metal static replica, about 1/12th, but 
I'm open to larger sizes and different materials.
