The story behind it is the boat was moveing coal down a river when one of the draw bridges did not open. The boat could not stop in time and hit the bridge. The current was so strong that is pulled the boat under the birdge. Amazingly the boat surfaced on the other side of the bridge. The Captain, who stayed on bored and road the thing the whole time this was happening checked to see if the engines were running. When they cranked up he proceded with his delevery and contenuied to move the coal down river. This really happen. No joke.

If I were the captain and I had stayed on board, I certainly would not have been bored!Benjamin wrote:The Captain, who stayed on bored and road the thing the whole time this was happening checked to see if the engines were running.
