30/04/2005: "WRECKAGE HOOK-UP - Prawn trawler's net loss"

The last thing a prawn trawler needs is to lose gear on a shipwreck, sunken aircraft or a reef.

But it does happen. Sometimes the 'snag' combined with the speed and power of the vessel is sufficent to pull the craft down at the stern, thus sinking it.

With GPS the bad snags are pin-pointed. Ben Cropp and crew have been investigating such marks on the marine charts. Eventually somthing substantial is certain to show up.
