Now, I can see the fish in this one! But, I'm open to alternatives.

Okay… I think this is the last of the Kristen Cam series…
No cropping done, this is how she framed it up.

Fairey Gannet AEW.3 XL500 at the South Wales Air Museum at St Athan, once a potential flyer but the cost of the propeller overhaul was prohibitive, (according to one of the excellent museum staff volunteers), this is another air museum worth the visit if in the area.
This propeller is from a former cross Channel SR.N4 Hovercraft. They were powered by 4 3,400shp Rolls Royce turboprops via 4 6.4 Steerable propellers.
This propeller is displayed on an original trolley on which it was mounted for servicing. I think you can see how big these propellers are when compared to the building behind it.
The two main commercial operators, Hoverlloyd (Pegwell Bay to Calais) and British rail’s Seaspeed (Dover to Boulogne –Sur-Mer) merged in 1981 to form Hoverspeed.
The Princess Anne, an SR.N4 featured in the James Bond Film, Diamonds are forever.
The last craft was withdrawn from service in 2000 and hoverspeed ceased trading in 2005

MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
The four-bladed propeller of the Shell tanker Varicella, built in 1959. When the ship was decomissioned the propeller was donated to the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, which set it up in the in a public space in the centre of the city with a replica stern.
Running clamly along the banks of Old Dhaka, the Bariganga is a subsidiary of the famous Ganges, and its muddy waters are deemed to be the lifeblood of both the city and the nation as a whole.
The panorama of river life is utterly fascinating and engrossing. Triple-towered ferries stock the Sadarghat preparing to ship Bangladeshis across the nation, alongside are tiny row-boats which expertly ship commuters across the Bariganga, weaving in and out of the myriad of other boats. Small fishing boats tangle with lumbering tankers for space along the river, whilst children line the littered, greasy, muddy shores searching for recyclables to sell, or using home-made nets to fish. Further out men work in precarious and dangerous positions to renovate and repair rusting tankers whilst shallow barges ship building materials to fuel the countless construction projects of the city.

Povoação, São Miguel, Azores, Portugal.
Lost propeller from the “Summer Breeze”, a Greek cargo ship that ran aground on the shores of Povoação, on the south coast of the island of São Miguel, Azores, in 1977. Those were the same shores safely reached by the Portuguese navigators of the 15th century, when the island was discovered, without the help of charts, maps or any kind of modern instruments. I don't know if the rusty propeller of the “Summer Breeze” was deliberately placed side by side with this little lighthouse, but it definitely looks ironic.
Povoação, São Miguel, Açores, Portugal.
Esta é uma das hélices do cargueiro grego “Summer Breeze” que encalhou ao largo da Povoação, na costa sul da ilha de São Miguel, Açores, em 1977. Tudo aconteceu sensivelmente no mesmo local onde desembarcaram os navegadores portugueses do século XV, quando a ilha foi descoberta sem ajuda de cartas, mapas ou qualquer tipo de moderna instrumentação. Não sei se foi intencional, mas parece no mínimo irónico que a ferrugenta hélice tenha sido aqui colocada, lado a lado com o pequeno farol na renovada zona marginal da vila da Povoação.
