The anchor isn't in Jack London Square. It's at the entrance to the square. The entire area has a long history of ships and boats and seafaring going back to the mid-1800's The square is on an estuary, and along the estuary you can sometimes find aircraft carriers and other naval ships berthed, there is a ferry terminal, a few marinas, and Roosevelt's yacht, the Potomac is berthed there as well (I've a pic of if you'd care to see it).
While London may be most remembered for his wilderness tales, he spent many years "before the mast," and sailed to many distant places. Many of his books were written during, and about, his years at sea. Shel > [Original Message] > From: Rick Womer > Nice pic, Shel. > > Why is there an anchor in Jack London Square?
