Fishing Vessel Catches Mustard Round

Bornholm, Denmark A Danish fishing boat fishing off the island of Bornholm recovered more than just fish when they brought up a WWII era mustard filled round from the Baltic Sea. The Captain of the vessel radioed the find to authorities who rendezvoused with the boat as it docked in the harbor in the town of Nexo. A Danish Navy EOD Team along with a crew from the Danish Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) inspected and removed the round which was identified as a WWII era mustard round (size and exact type not reported).

After the round was removed, DEMA personnel decontaminated the boat despite the fact the round was reportedly in well preserved condition with no apparent leaks. The decontamination exercise included disposing of the day's catch inside the hold just in case the round leaked.
