This gives an added dimension to 'copper losses'.
I did have a little to do with an earlier barge at that location. It cannot have been as secure as HM's Home Secretary would have wished. When calling on the crippled Stenice, having sailed around with one generator from Immingham. A joy to the superintendent's eye hove into sight as we were put on a berth with craneage. No such luck. When suggesting hire would be inexpensive due to proximity and obvious need for business I was told that criminals had stripped them of their electrical copperware and that a floating crane would have to be hired anyway (I can't remember whether it was or not - happy days!).
