Hi all, it is all very interesting looks like the theories are out there, I had not seen the Myth Busters episode, so have opened my mind to further ideas.
By chance we have the anniversary of the 'incident' this coming Wednesday, 83 years ago 6.5.37.
Looks like we shall never be sure. Thanks for the wiki reference.
I use wikipedia a lot and send a small donation each year, now what does that remind me of?
It is still a dreadfull looking yacht though.
