WWII Shipwreck Lard Found On Beach

Other World War II artifacts have been recently found. Barrels of lard had washed up on the shore of Scotland after a storm sometime in the late 60s or early 70s. It was speculated that these came from a bombed merchant ship during the war. The wood has since decomposed but the chunks of lard still held the form. These barrel-shaped pieces have been washing up on shore over the last few decades. In 2013, another bad storm caused more of these lumps to come up. What’s interesting is the fact that the fish grew bigger than usual after feeding on the lard and this drew fishermen to the area back in the 70’s.

Missing Japanese Mega-Submarine Found

Meanwhile, a Japanese submarine was found along the coast of Oahu in Hawaii. It was recorded missing ever since 1946, but it had proven difficult to find since it was located at 2,300 feet deep! Back then, the I-400 was the most advanced submarine in the world. It could travel around the world one and a half times on a full tank of fuel and deploy up to three 1800 kg bombs in just a matter of minutes. This unit was captured by the Americans as the war drew to a close. During the Cold War, the Soviets wanted it as part of WWII treaty conditions but the Americans claimed not to know its location to prevent them from acquiring the technology.
