Amazingly, they are still finding these things 80 years after the war.

This one looked to be at or a foot or so under the dock surface.

I think the bomb may be an ordinance that was left at the dock. One pic shows the lifting ring on the nose where the fuse should be. :confused:

Also, the BOOM seems larger than life. I think the EOD team strapped on more C4 than needed.

That blast did look pretty big. I was thinking they must have had pretty good bombs then. Strapping on a "tad" more C4 or so was probably the answer... That good 'ol "P" for plenty thing..:lifter
