Experimental U boat in Lake Ontario

Does anybody know anything about a mysterious 'experimental' U boat found in Lake Ontario a few weeks ago? It's allegedly identified as UX 791 although Uboat.net has no record of any such boat. Sounds like a wind up to me.

The story is a hoax. The submarine pictured is an old Soviet nuclear submarine being towed away for breaking up, and the photo of the two divers is from an old Nat Geo expedition diving under the ice.
