Once while working on above barge, A diver was driving the crane operator nuts with pick a little , no down and so forth. The sob was under the barge holding onto an anode. They later hired him as a deck foreman.
Later on another job, not same company. I was knocked overboard by pipe jumping the rollers and some bright guy tried to throw me the welding cable. Me in salt water. Hello salt water and electricity don't work well together.
Stories I might could tell about working offshore in the 60s are almost endless. Before there was an OSHA.
