Hello everyone,
A little catch-up here first....this would be the introduction part!
![Shocked :o](https://models.rokket.biz/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
My name is Todd..."T"...or whatever works...LOL I was on here many moons ago, but the way life goes, we often can't keep up with everything. After a little re-registration, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. While away, I have been doing a few things modeling related...building, shows and working for a fairly mainstream model paint company providing demos and technical support for some regional and national shows here in the US. Also, I have been working with an organization called USABOT(United States Brotherhood Of Tankers). USABOT is comprised mainly of men and women who were, or currently still are, tankers and mechanics. Along with providing several veteran services, we have been working with communities and local VFW's and American Legions providing the manpower, experience and some parts, to cosmetically restore those monumental relics sitting in front of the halls and on town squares. In addition, we have been working with a loocal museum here in Massachusetts, The American Heritage Museum, providing restoration and docent services....which this part actually leads to the question part...
The museum I am working with, happen to come across a U Boat relic recently. While transporting a recent purchase of a PBY from the Netherlands, a quick stop in Iceland sparked someone there to donate a section of a U Boat to the museum. Strangely enough, no one knew it was showing up...then one day, 7 pallets of rusted metal and one hulk of a piece just appeared. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, we began putting the rusty jigsaw puzzle back together.
I know, "where is the question?" LOL Okay, while years ago, I probably knew enough to get me some answers...most of which were thanks to this site and the hard work from people like Dougie and the members...I must be getting old and hit a wall. I am looking to try and narrow down what boat (section) we might actually have. So that, would be the question...LOL Iwillgive some particulars that I have...which are more or less speculative at this moment, but you never know what information might help answer a question.

And....this is how she sits not. They placed her inside the museum for now. Thoughts are putting her near the PBY if and when that makes it back here after some restoration.

So...here are a few things that have been mentioned...maybe something is correct and might spark some direction....
1 - The U Boat sections came to us from Iceland. There is no information (at this time) on who had the piece or if it possibly was something that washed ashore or sunk in and around the area.
2 - There was some talk that the piece came, originally, from Poland. No names or locations. Possibly something left unfinished, partially scraped and bounced around...maybe something left or sank in the Baltic.
3 - Speculation it is a Milchk
