Regarding, "London Bridge" (which the Tower Bridge is often mistaken for):

It is a popular rumour that the bridge was bought in the belief that it was, in fact, London's more recognisable Tower Bridge, but [the buyer] strongly denied it.

Of all the shipwrecks that can be seen with google earth this one wasn't quite as "James Bond" as the previous owner had hoped.

Nope, the ship belonged to much more of an Outkast.

iFail at this one. :(

What part of first clue should I be googling? And when I add Outkast (the hip hop group?) to the mix, things get even more confusing.

'Nother clue time...

My guess:
HARDEEP WRECK
Vessels name:- Supornthep, Registration:-Thai, Sunk:- May 1941
Hardeep Afloat. Click for Hi res picture (1MB)

Bombed by French Aircraft during World War II during Franco/Thai Hostilities

Powered by:- 3 cylinder Coal fired engine. Single Screw

Vessel type:- Cargo ship Length/Tonnage:60meters/1000tons

Wreck Location:- N012’31.5, E100’57.5. Near Koh Chuang, Gulf of Siam

Wreck details:- Lying on its starboard side. Max depth 26 meters, with two 1000 pound bombs nearby

Hardeep Ship wreck on the seabed

I'd like to say here's a pic, but I can't find a cocksucking picture of this anywhere, and I'm too fucking retarded to figure out how to convert those coordinates into Google Earth.
