We thought we could get over this difficulty by wrapping the grapnel in cotton wool. |
The skipper rigs a 45m line with a grapnel to place it as close to the bridge as possible. |
This entails digging down around the mine so that a grapnel can be attached and the mine pulled out of the ground my men under cover. |
This proved invaluable for accurately plotting the outline of the wreck and positioning our grapnel line exactly where we wanted it. |
The collapsible grapnel is a hand-thrown grapnel hook that is used for climbing, removing mines and other objects, and pulling concertina and barbed wire obstacles. |
Furthermore, the weight of the inertia parts unnecessarily increases the weight of the whole grapnel. |
