1. Navy Ship Anchor In Roswell NM
Does anyone know which ship the anchor came from? Who donated it and where did it come from. It would be nice to know more about the history of this Anchor that is displayed on our Court House Lawn. Please reply here if anyone has any further info on this subject.
Thanks
