Hey all,
I drove my coupe down to Crusin' the Coast in Biloxi, Ms. last week. While on my way to Ocean Springs I notice a hugh German U-Boat model sitting on display by the bay at the foot of the bridge.
I came back later and took some pics of the model.
You may have seen this before, but if not here it is.
After getting back home, I did some research and found this working model was originally used in the movie U-571. After the movie was completed it was sold to someone in the area. It was later damaged by the Hurricane. It has been restored and now sets, as you see it, on display.
It is modeled after the U-166, A type IX German U-boat. The U-166 was the only U-boat to be sank in the Gulf of Mexico.
Just thought it was worth sharing.
cheers,
Mickm
