Either way, the ship owner and fisherman/crabber were both screwed by this screw-up involving a big screw.

Top Speed... "20 Knots"
I was almost going to name this post "Screwed", but there may be some landlubbers out there who aren't aware that "screw" is a name for a ship's propeller...

Re: Top Speed... "20 Knots"
Reminds me of my Roto-tiller after I used it to find a bunch of plastic hay-bale rope in the garden that had been used to tie tomato plants to stakes.....

Never realized they could mess up prop. Watched a few where people cut turtles and whales out nets they were all tangled up in.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Re: Top Speed... "20 Knots"
The nets used to be all over Lake Erie until the mid '90s I think, when they started limiting the number of commercial fishing licenses.
Used to get tangled up every once and awhile. Best one was while we were sailing past Pele Island one summer. Sails were trimmed perfectly in a light wind when the old man happed to look at the knot meter, 0.0! He started laughing and pointed towards the shore. I hadn't noticed we'd been looking at the same cabin on the beach for several minutes. The net had gone under the keel and tangled on the prop. He hit the starter button on the old Westerbeke diesel and kicked us loose. Just one of those funny memories from childhood that I won't forget.

Well the Navy and Marines have fouled anchors so why not fouled screws?
