On some of the larger twin screw steamers the propellers are made up of individual blades bolted to a hub. Having stripped the large nuts we put a shaped charge around the shaft and blew the props off. We were then able to lift the blades separately. Photo of a blade coming over the side.

This is one that was found accidentally in the St. Clair River. Decided to polish it up and make it as memorial to lost sailors of the 1913 storm.

The potential uses are endless, if not illegal in a lot of cases. Bank vaults, tree felling, bridge destruction
Propeller blades???
