    Bummer! And my apologies!
    Here I thought Dutton's was a US Naval text.
    I was browsing a dated copy (1958 edition) which indicated that NOAA kept track
    of all such anchorages and marked them on the chart.

    I was reading the chapter on advance and transfer when handling big ships and
    how to place the vesel exactly on the mark when instructed to anchor in a
    designated spot. Now get this. The book said that the navigator should be able
    to position the vessel so as to drop the anchor within 10 yars of the center of
    the circle defining the designated anchorages.

    I will hav eto blame Rich Gano and his decription of a paragraph from Knights
    Seamsnship. Can't find my copy of Knights but I did find the Duttons and got to
    browsing. <:(
