A World War II explosive device has been found by a fishing boat.

The vessel was dropping its line off the coast of Rhode Island when she made the discovery.

The Captain said his crew dredged up the mysterious object, which was confirmed to be a depth charge by the Navy Region Mid Atlantic.

The crew called the Coast Guard after the discovery, and a team came to pick them up and return them to a safe area.

The charge was detonated safely about a kilometre and a half offshore, and despite the distance, the impact could still be felt.
