At Anchor

(by Heather Hernandez, Technical Services Librarian)

This week we're offering another instructive rhyme from Nautical Nursery Rhymes by Billy Ringbolt, which resides in the Peterson, Peter H. (Capt.) Papers, (SAFR 18665, HDC 571):

At Anchor
A vessel which at anchor rides,
Hoists a light which shows all sides,
And for a mile is seen at night,
(If weather is fine) when burning bright.
