    We ran into a small shark on a pile driving job once. I think me or one of the crew tried to kill it with a Peavey. We had to do the job and I think we gave up.

    We had a tool used to work with logs called a Peavey.

    We had loggers tools on the job and who knows, maybe I was the one trying to kill it. I don't think it got killed.

    Do you know what a lumber jack tool is?

    I am talking of a Peavey. It has been so long since I worked on pile driver rigs.

    That tool looks like it could do some serious damage. I have a phobic fear of being in the water, sharks are just part of it.

    I like the German 400mm Railway Guns ... called *Big Berthas* ... named after Bertha Krupp.

    The 16 inch is a bit larger in diameter than the Big Bertha
