I went through the SUEZ in July 76, then there were still 3 ships and the scuttled ones, if my memo stick does not leave me now, they were all scutlled by the crews, when I passed last in 2000 (hopefully last time I ever saw the Marlboro Channel) I did not see the scuttled ones, but I did not have much time to look closer either
