                                In case you were wondering...

                                

A plaque has been installed August 2008 which states "The anchor came from the cargo ship Saint Ambroise launched in Saunderland, England in 1919. The anchor is stamped with an upright swastika which represents the Hindu symbol for long life, good health and good luck. This swastika should not be confused with the off-set swastika that symbolized the evil and tyranny of Nazi Germany.


This German ship anchor that had been hiding at the old Coast Guard Base for many years is now prominently displayed at Proprietor's Park on King Street.  The anchor was taken from a German freighter captured by the Coast Guard off of the Atlantic Coast during World War II. For 40+years the anchor sat at the entrance of the City Coast Guard Base, which was abandoned by the Coast Guard in 1986 when they left the property.

Today, it has been cleaned and repositioned near the entrance of the City Marina at the intersection of King Street and Jersey Avenue. For the past few weeks Union Local 711 Painters and Allied Trades AFL-CIO kindly donated their time to scrape the rust off the anchor and paint it.  The job was completed last week and the anchor was moved to its new location on Wednesday (August 22) by the Public Works Department.

While there has been slight opposition to the project due to the swastikas that are visible on the anchor, Mayor & Council have decided to erect a plaque at the foot of the anchor explaining its rich history as they feel that because of the anchor’s historic value, the City felt is would be wrong to remove the symbols.Other future enhancements include a landscaped area and a possible seating area to draw visitors to the site.
