So stupid of me to put them all on my ship that sank in deep water.

I’m one of those people who likes to line things up by caliber.

that was an impressive catch by our navy
those little "boats" are always filled with bad things
We never were allowed to take pictures of the stuff we seized during interdiction stops. we just cataloged and sent the find to davey jones locker.
i bet it took a whole day to bring all that onboard.

Crying shame about your boat. It seems like the members of this forum have an usual amount of boating accidents. I had one too.

It's worse than he's even telling us. All his handguns were stored on the interior deck below.

The salt air can't be good for those guns.

I thought I would photograph for insurance purposes my new collection in the conference room of my new office/houseboat before I set out from Galveston towards that tropical depression.

I know houseboats don’t have sufficient freeboard for the Gulf, but I’m a risk taker.

It was a very bad weekend.

Well not entirely bad.
