"So...given the history of failure of this bearing, I would investigate this further."
Best guess it was under water.
Makes one question whether ball/roller type bearings(sealed? or not) should ever be used in a marine environment. They are very susceptible to rust.
Perhaps there is a reason for using babbit type bearings instead. Ref. post 19.
