    An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.

    The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.

    It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch's surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.

    No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine's engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch's murky waters.

    Kind of puts a pin in Nessie then, if we can find a small camera lost 55 years ago but not a giant animal.

        Omg, a camera with a flash cube - so it would have been able to take 4 flash pictures.

        I had that exact same camera when I was a kid. My favourite part was putting in new flash cubes. Dude when the Kodak Disc came out we were wetting our pants, that thing had INFINITE FLASH

          I'm here to do two things: not read articles, and make ignorant comments based on not reading articles

          and I'm almost out of articles to not read

            There are two maybe four photos in the article, and I genuinely don’t see a source for the rest of them.

              No footage of Nessie will ever be found or captured, because in 1991 the dude who started the damn rumor with that one famous photo admitted that it was a hoax. Why people still continue to search for the monster baffles me.

                            1991? I took a fake photo of Nessie in 1984, and I’m certain I wasn’t the first.

                              That was always a very long distance relationship.

                              I’ve got pictures of both of them though 😄

                                They used a flash that was single-use. When the flash triggered, it burned out and the mechanism rotated. A cube has 4 sides.

                                          No joke! Lots of details in the article, it’s worth a look. The cameras were also rigged via tripwire to hopefully only activate when Nessie physically disturbed them!
