 (CNN)Crews working on an English harbor found an unexploded World War II-era German bomb containing 290 pounds of explosives.

Fortunately, authorities were able to carefully tow it out of the harbor and into open water where it was detonated.

A dredger spotted the bomb at the bottom of Portsmouth harbor early Wednesday morning. The harbor is in the process of a lengthy and expensive upgrade. And as the dredger was digging up the harbor mud, the bomb got caught in its shovel.
