Nah. It's true. Happened in NY harbour last week. Just a wee over reaction in my opinion. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

" no flares on board" and you want those on a wooden sub' in distress because?

Ah you see, they should have built a John Holland submarine replica instead, it wouldn't have broken down then, would it? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I want to know how a registration certificate would have made it safer. Aside from maybe rolling it up and stuffing it in any holes that may appear.

Some authorities just don't "get" re-enactment:-(

Can't think of a more anal bunch of cretins than the USCG - except for maybe the US Immigration Authorities! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It is not clear, however, quite what use flares would be in a submerged wooden submarine.
Well I suppose they could light a fire to stay warm
