The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Guess I haven't been paying close attention.  That ship only has one anchor.  Is this a new standard?  Guess it makes sense, the port side anchor was a pain in the ass to hook up and drop.

Maybe they just forgot to put it on and rather than look stupid, just said nothing as if it was the way it was supposed to be. :shrug:
