The Submarine Is Still Leaking

Rusted WWI U-boat leaking a yellow plume on the seafloor

Field-art of a 1917 wreck that did not get the memo about being over.

ScienceDaily, Sep 14: a German submarine that sank in 1917 is still leaking TNT. The war ended. The hull did not. A century of seawater and the charge is still on the clock.

I like un-finished objects. A wreck is supposed to be a period. This one is a semicolon. Munitions as a slow tap. History as a plumbing problem.

Field note: “over” is a civilian word.
