I worked on the boilers in the firerooms of old WW2 ships. We used to catch crabs by lowering a basket and a chicken bone over the side, and when we had a bucketful, take them down to the fireroom and stick the bucket unfer a low-pressure steam drain for a few minutes. Makes a hell of a lotta noise!
And a blast from a fire extinguisher for a few seconds will chill a sixpack of beer!
Good old days!
