'Captain Calamity' Brings Back UXO From Fishing Trip

Campbeltown, Scotland Trawler skipper and third generation fisherman, Ciaran McIntyre, pulled up a munition in his nets while fishing offshore. Instead of calling authorities to report the find, the captain decided to bring the item back to port in Argyll. While on-route and at port, he even took photos of the find and posted them on social media with the caption - "Anybody got any info on origin and age?" A reply read "Don't go chipping the barnacles off to find out."

Fish Net Find

When the harbor master at the port caught wind of the find, he declared a full-scale emergency and shut down the port. Military EOD from Faslane Naval Base responded to the live shell and safely relocated it for disposal.
