An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.
The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.
It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch’s surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.
No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine’s engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch’s murky waters.
The photos are in the article!
I’m here to do two things: not read articles, and make ignorant comments based on not reading articles
and I’m almost out of articles to not read
You can always write your own contributions!
There are two maybe four photos in the article, and I genuinely don’t see a source for the rest of them.
What makes you think there are more? The cameras were only ever rigged to take four photographs max
You’re joking right?
No joke! Lots of details in the article, it’s worth a look. The cameras were also rigged via tripwire to hopefully only activate when Nessie physically disturbed them!
They used a flash that was single-use. When the flash triggered, it burned out and the mechanism rotated. A cube has 4 sides.
So the numbering on the film is irrelevant then?
