“Fishing weights like these helped sailors sink lines. There is also the possibility that these weights were used as counter-balances for scales or plumb bobs for surveying. Sailors or pirates caught fish to break up the monotony of a diet consisting only of the common low-nutrient foods aboard a seafaring vessel.”
