I think you'll find it happens fairly frequently, one way or another. My father had the unforunate experience when going through the Kent Island Narrows drawbridge, of one of his crew managing, in quite a similar manner, to lose the anchor. The unlucky soul, who is no relation, shall remain nameless.
