L32(2):A lost ship
The captain of the Elkor ordered his men to salvage as much as possible from the wreck. Nothing of value was found, but the numerous items which were brought to the surface proved to be of great interest. From a heavy gun that was raised, the captain realized that the ship must have been a cruiser. In another chest, which contained the belongings of a ship's officer, there was an unfinished letter which had been written on March 14th, 1943. The captain learnt from the letter that the name of the lost ship was the Karen. The most valuable find of all was the ship's log book, parts of which it was still possible to read. From this the captain was able to piece together all the information that had come to light. The Karen had been sailing in a convoy to Russia when she was torpedoed by an enemy submarine. This was later confirmed by a naval official at the Ministry of Defense after the Elkor had returned home. All the items that were found were sent to the War Museum.

周六,终于看完了声入人心的决赛,一口气。整个下午几乎都沉浸在其中无法自拔——其实确切地说,应该是这一周了吧。这所有的一切都是属于这个节目的。
终于……我该做些自己的事情了。把这份情怀了结一段落先,藏在心中。
