B17 Airplane Wreck , Garbage Cannie
The B17 Bomber Garbage Cannie sank in March 1944, near the island of Vis, Croatia. Now, after 78 Years in 115 meters depth in the adriatic sea it was found and dived again. The Video gaives a short summary from the first Exploration and what is left after more than 7 decades.

Excellent effort , stunning indeed ! I am from Island of Vis , living in Split . My father was a combat pilot in WW2 flew on Spitfire MkVc by Yugoslav Air Force that been flying from the Island of Vis in 1944. My passed dad told me a lot of stories about Allie's warbirds that made an emergency landings onto Island of Vis and dozens of them found their final spots at the seabed off the coast . A lot of are found yet but there are more to be found . In some calculations according onto historic data - there are up to 76 various planes around the Vis coastline that needs yet to be found ! Once more - you guys did a great job , hats off !
My father, Gerson Epstein, was the navigator on the Garbage Cannie. He was badly hurt from the crash. The seven men who survived were picked up by partisans, and eventually returned to their base in Foggia. The family lore--and I don't know whether this is true--is that his scarf was caught on a piece of the plane and prevented him from being washed away. My father rarely discussed the circumstances of the crash, so I didn't realize until now that the pilot was trying to make it to an airfield at Vis. This is truly amazing. I wish he was here today to see this video. These airmen were incredibly brave and so many did not survive.
She's a long way from home, the Boeing plant in Seattle!
Mega !
Wish they could raise and restore. There's so few left.
Looks in good condition. Any plans to raise it?
Love to see this old girl raised...but I doubt it'll ever happen...
Why are there nets and ropes on this plane? Was there a plan to raise it? They look old also.

Probably fishing nets and rope from trawling for fish.
