Fascinating. That looks like the turret of a T34.
With all the history about the battle I'm surprised this has been left submerged for so long, maybe because it is/was a war grave?
This is incredible. I'm with you BlackCat, I thought the river bed would have been stripped clean by scrappers decades ago. Glad this one survived.
Absolutely a great and very interesting thread
A couple of questions:
Will the boat be restored?
Did the boat have another T34 Turret on board?
Has the Sailor been identified? (if possible).
Hope there is further updates on this great read!
Amazing And lots of equipment, weapons ,helmets etc also

Fun stuff to look at.
Thanks for posting !!
It's amazing how well preserved some of the stuff is, especially that gas mask. A real time capsule.

Judging from the pictures shown it looks like it might get restored in some form, as long as it is a fitting memorial to those who fought and died on this vessel.
