The worst part is that the crewman that was at the entrance to the pilothouse was thrown overboard!

As the video shows, ladies and gentlemen, it's vitally important to match your ground tackle to the bottom over which you anticipate anchoring. A very large Danforth would have had a better chance of piercing the deck of the obstructing vessel for a good hold.

Maybe they thought the anchor would lodge in the obstructing vessel which would conveniently sink immediately and act as a very large mooring block?

HEY, you scratched my anchor.

Is that a #6 Danforth?

I guess they need a label

...and one crew overboard...

A lesson for us all
