Lookie what I found
« on: June 15, 2011, 06:12:38 PM »
I found this on the way home. It's just sitting along the highway.





I have seen Higgins Boats at this same location too. I'm not really sure where this guy finds this stuff but I might just take a trip up there during the day sometime and see if I can't get another look at her. I'm not sure if this guy has this up for sale or is just restoring it. He does sell large equipment there and all of it is used and much of it is old too. Either way I thought it unusual to see it sitting along the highway.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that one of the movie replica Tigers?  Cool to see.

Not sure of that. I didn't get any closer than you see here since I didn't want to get nailed for trespassing. If you are going off the fact that you can see light between the turret and the main body, the turret is being held up by some blocking. Like I said though I would like to talk to the guy that runs the place though, since it seems that he has WWII era equipment there fairly often (even if they are replicas, which I am not sure either way) like the Higgins Boats that were there a few years ago.

No it's not probably a fake.  it's a fake.  If you can't tell why, I suggest a book with photos of Tiger Is :)

There are 6 surviving Tiger Is.  None in the US. Two in Russia, two in England, two in France.

Your comment was 'probably fake", implying it might be real.  It isn't.
