Funny how seamanship 101 says if steerage is lost and the ship is making way ( heading for a bridge!!! ) DROP THE ANCHOR!!!!Unless you have worked on a ship you do not understand how much time it takes to drop emergency anchor.

If A PROPER SEA AND ANCHOR DETAIL IS SET IT TAKES 1 SECOND TO DROP ANCHOR.
