Interesting post. On the map the yacht seems to be floating on its side; but in the pictures from the BBC article it certainly appears to be upright now. This seems somewhat odd... |

The BBC article was April 10.
Saddam Hussein's presidential yacht Al Mansur, damaged by an air strike during the conflict, and attacked subsequently by local people as a symbol of the former regime, finally sank on the afternoon of 12 June at Basrah http://www.operations.mod.uk/telic/photo_gallery_general1.htm |
