Then about 1985 or so a local collector found it and over two summers his kids and him stripped it, cut it into smaller pieces and brought it down the lake 15kms in a 12 foot boat with an outboard motor. Used MT oil drums to float the hull out.
Kept it together for years and then it went to its present owner who put it all back together and fabricated a lot of missing armor and parts.
Sound like a very interesting recovery story - wish we could see pics!
