Here are two photos of the Maine's anchor. When the Maine
was raised they gave a piece of her to every state that was a state at
the time. Reading , PA was just lucky to get a big piece like one
of the anchors. I was born in Reading and lived there till 1986. As a kid
some times my dad would drive past it and I would bug him to stop so I
could look at it and that led to climbing on it of course.
There is no engraved or casted numbers of the
weight on it that I could find.
Where the stock and shank meet my head almost touches, and that's at
the bottom, I'm 5'9". I thought you BB freaks out there would enjoy
this. |
