Photos have surfaced of a forgotten sea plane believed to have been a casualty in the attack on Pearl Harbor, according to The Toronto Sun.
The University of Hawaii and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found the wreckage of a U.S. Navy seaplane, the Catalina PBY-5, during a survey in June.
About 27 of the PBY planes were destroyed during the infamous Pearl Harbor attack, and another six were damaged. It is believed that this ship was lost or forgotten more than 70 years ago, Sky News reported.
"The new images and site plan tell the story of a largely forgotten casualty of the attack," said Hans Van Tilburg, a maritime archaeologist with the NOAA. "The sunken PBY plane is a very important reminder of the 'Day of Infamy,' just like the USS Arizona and USS Utah. They are all direct casualties of 7 Dec."
These are supposedly the clearest images of the find to date, with coral encrusting the sunken plane's engine and fish swimming in and out of the hull in videos.
The PBY seaplane had a wingspan of around 100 ft. and could hold not only a crew of eight, but could also several 500 pound bombs, according to Townhall.
The photos and videos are available now for download, according to the NOAA's press release.
