Some of you are going to wonder, like I did, if there was a missile associated with it. Kind of bizarre for something around 90 feet long not to be reported by the ship that lost it....

Not really. “Washed overboard. Presumed sunk.”

Looks like the bottom is toward us. Clicked on the link, but didn’t see any of the other end.

Could have come from a rig instead of a ship. Looks in too good of shape to be something washed away by Katrina.

Looks like something a sub would have attached to the upper hull to covertly transport equipment.

Why didn’t someone call the police and have them investigate?

The tank, which is 27m high, has no markings and is thought to have fallen from a ship before being washed up on the west of Benbecula.

27m long.
