Fishermen from the Isle of Islay recall the circumstances of a strange find in May 2005, when two men working off the Inner Hebrides island spotted what they described as a “yellow submarine.” According to accounts from multiple outlets, John Baker, who is now 69, was fishing a few miles from Islay’s shore when he noticed the unusual vessel. The discovery quickly drew attention beyond the island, with reports later describing how the find gained an international audience. Other coverage reiterates that the craft was hauled ashore on Islay, forming the focus of widespread curiosity at the time. While the descriptions in the articles emphasize the vessel’s distinctive yellow color and the unexpected nature of the sighting, the reporting provided here does not detail its origin, purpose, or ownership. The accounts present the event primarily as a local recollection of a long-standing mystery tied to the men’s fishing work off Islay in 2005 and the broader attention it generated thereafter.
