I am puzzled & maybe someone could throw light:
The canister looks like metal, and isn't airtight anymore. It has barnacles on one side, which makes it likely it was probably floating, rather than sitting on the seabed.
How did it manage to float so long without sinking? It looks structurally compromised from the photograph.
- jmholla 3y agoMaybe it was on the seabed and the barnacles were working their way up when it was brought to shore tumultuously? Or maybe it was floating and the processes that brought it to shore caused that damage?
- asow92 3y agoMaybe there's a sequestered, hollowed out part inside keeping it afloat?
- sawjet 3y agoIt is likely that there are smaller, internal pressurant tanks that are sealed and could keep the craft bouyant
- justinclift 3y agoMaybe instead of floating it was half-buried for a while?
