Customs in the Baltic Sea took a rather unusual find in tow off the Darß. The crew of the customs cruiser "Hiddensee" towed part of an old Soviet torpedo with the daughter boat "Poel" to the port of emergency in Darßer Ort. There he was tied up and handed over to the ammunition recovery service for removal and disposal, said a customs spokesman on Wednesday.
Prerow - According to a message from Customs, the day before the crew of the rescue cruiser "Nis Randers" asked for help in identifying an unknown floating object.
The approximately 3.5 meter long part with a diameter of about half a meter was identified as the drive unit of a torpedo.
On the basis of photos and in consultation with other bodies, it was decided that there was no danger of explosion.
It was then recovered as a dangerous obstacle to shipping.
