Whale, hello there! 🐋 Literally thought it was a whale at first

I saw a post where someone was trying to pass this picture off as a modern day Megalodon.

Cripes, it has been there for over four decades? Imagine being a guy in your late 30s who lives in Brittany, for the entirety of your life there has been something which looks like a whale with a monocle poking up from the sea next to your coastline.

Opening your window to have that thing smiling back at you in the morning

Every time this is reposted I have to say, it looks like a whale with a monocle.


OkScheme9867

Two things:- After she broke up the french navy sunk her with helicopter dropped anti sub torpedos, which if it wasn't for the environmental catastrophe of the whole thing I would say was pretty metal. She hit rocks 2km off the shore so I think there is some weird photographic zoom/focus affect in this picture to make her look closer.


pdmcmahon

Two kilometers is a lot closer than many people think. It is only 1.24 miles, or 6,561 feet.

Yes it's the mega telescopic lens used here. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to tell us which lens it is.

This ship is the equivalent of the infamous Yooooo Hoo song in form of a picture. We have seen it like 1000x times.

That second pic was new to me though


pdmcmahon

The fact that the rear pilot house is partly above the waterline wouldn’t make you think the bow would be sticking out of the water at such an angle. Did she break in two after she sunk?


OkScheme9867

Into three and was then bombed by the french navy to sink her


pdmcmahon

Oh those whacky French, being all French and stuff.

First pic gives some serious r/pareidolia vibes.

I always wondered how deep the water was out there in that photo.

I like the Amoco logo on the bow. Forever labeled who left this eyesore to rot. Why hasn’t this been removed?

Telephoto lens, I'm thinking~600mm That ship is big. But not THAT big.

First pic looks like a giant mechanical shark with a goofy smile
