Back in the 70s, I happened to be carrying a Polaroid camera when I was leaving the ship when all of a sudden another ship came by and snagged their anchor on the stanchions of our flight deck.
There was the sound of metal tearing and cables snapping and I quickly snapped off 10 pictures as the other ship pulled away anchor still hooked to some wreckage.
I was amazed when an officer on my ship offered me $10 a pop for each of those pictures.
Of course I needed the money more than the pictures.
Now I wonder if I could have gotten $20 for each of them. :o
