A camera deployed in 1970 by biologist Roy Mackal to capture evidence of the Loch Ness monster was recently discovered by an unmanned submersible, Boaty McBoatface. This unexpected recovery occurred during a test dive when the camera's mooring tangled in the submersible's propellers. Researchers, alongside naturalist Adrian Shine, later identified the well-preserved Instamatic camera. The discovery not only sheds light on past cryptid research but also resolves some mystery surrounding the camera's long absence from the loch.
"While this wasn't a find we expected to make, we're happy that this piece of Nessie hunting history can be shared and perhaps at least the mystery of who left it in the loch can be solved."
"It was an ingenious camera trap consisting of a clockwork Instamatic camera with an impressive ability to capture images in the depths of Loch Ness."
