Anchor in Fog

(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):

Anchor in Fog

When feeling your way, if you hear a ship's bell,

It's a vessel at anchor, you can easily tell,

Her bell in a fog is her only provision,

As signals to others to save a collision.

At Anchor

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.
