Janet Jaguar supported the suggestion* that it might be interesting to have a separate thread for lost overboard items.
I thought I would try to collate the various entries from elsewhere - I have done a search within 'Riveting Log Entries' and another one from the forum's home page, but I may easily have missed some entries...

Every single time.

When they turn it into a team sport, their officers have no chance at all of stopping them. ;D

(One Car Broom lost overboard by neglect & charged 7.0 for it.) and (One Wooden Bucket lost overboard by neglect & charged for 5/-.).
Still puzzling over the 'car broom'. ???
