"... they never dropped anchor."

Yeah, while riding their momentum forward at eight knots, they didn't drop anchor. What were they thinking?!?

First thing to do when experiencing loss of maneuvering power. Every sailor knows that.

Look at the image of the port bow. The anchor chain is in the water angled toward the stern. They are lying.

I read that they did at least drop the port anchor, but it had little to no effect on stopping the ship.

They did drop the anchor. That helped swing the ship towards the pier.
