My friend that worked on the offshore rig said on his first barge ride out to the rig they stuffed the new workers in a bunk room and told them to get some sleep, it would be a while before they need to be up. He said he was sound asleep and all of a sudden he thought the ship had smashed into something like an aircraft carrier. The noise was deafening and he jumped out of bed and started running away from that bunk room. As soon as he was in the hall all the old timers were laughing at him and his reaction.
They had deliberately put him in the room right below the anchor chain. When the anchor drops the chain with each link the weight of a small car goes flying down and makes a lot of noise.
He loved the paycheck but was real happy to be out of that job.
