Look familiar? It has a surprising similarity to the The Yellow Submarine in the 1968 animated musical fantasy film by the Beatles based on the song sung by Ringo.
This Yellow Submarine sits outside the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco in Monte Carlo. It is named Submarine Anorep 1 and was built in 1966, which was the same year that the Beatle’s song was released as a single. It also has a striking similarity to the art in the Beatles 1969 album and movie. This one is actually the first submarine of famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.
The connection between this submarine, Ringo Starr and the popular song and movie are more legend than fact. We had a tour guide once suggest that Ringo lived in an apartment overlooking the square holding this submarine and it inspired him to write the song. Both are not true. Paul wrote the song and Ringo lived a couple of miles away. But, it does make a good story 😉
