Nessie, where are you?
Let's play imagine. Imagine that you are engineers and that your day job is to run a underwater robot in the depths of a lake to carry out your cartography. Let's throw a little more dream and concrete. They are working for the Norwegian company Kongsberg Maritime and the lake whose bottom they are trying to draw is the famous and mythical Lake Ness , in Scotland .
We have won the whole thing and all our attention is now on the story. So, in the middle of the mission, Munin , our compact submarine which at that time is in the depths of the lake (a 180 meters ), he runs into a 10 meter monster . Eyes like saucers!
When Holmes found Nessie
It is a little after the initial surprise when we discover that the finding is not that of the mythical creature that made us place the emblematic lake on the map, but rather a 10 meter figure built in 1970 for film shooting The private life of Sherlock Holmes , directed by Billy Wilder, explain in Nauta 360 . In the film, the well-known detective was investigating the disappearance of a man in the surroundings of the lake and lived an encounter with the monster.
Today, 46 years later , this figure has been the anecdote that has marked the Loch Ness Project , the prospecting campaign of the depths of the lake, whose bottom has not yet been fully mapped for what steep from its terrain and the difficulties that this generates.
