A Spanish trawlerman has fished out a digital camera from the Atlantic Ocean and was able to retrieve five photos stored on its memory card. The BBC reports that the camera may have been dropped overboard from the ocean liner Queen Mary 2, most likely in October 2008. One of the photos features the cruiser Queen Elisabeth 2 in the background, and it was in that month that the two liners sailed together for the last time (the QE2 is now out of service). The BBC report does not mention the brand or the type of the memory card or the camera.

At press time, the identity of the camera’s owners was unknown; but it’s likely that the shooter belonged to the people seen in the salvaged snaps.

Update: The camera’s owners have been identified as Barbara and Dennis Gregory from South Africa.
