I didn’t know what it was, but Johnny figured it out. (John B. He’s a pilot.) It’s not a submersible. It’s a home-built kit plane called a Dragonfly.

Or maybe a Burt Rutan Quickie.

That’s funny. When Tom said something about Burt Rutan, we thought he was joking.

This thing is stuck in the ground outside Sharkey’s.
From the other side it looked like a ship’s anchor or something. I never thought much about it. From this side though, it looks like a vehicle. A crashed plane?
I don’t think so. It looks like some sort of submersible. A towable submarine? Research perhaps? It looks like it had ailerons on each of its wings so it could “fly” underwater.
