Default geoff's thread

I guess we hijacked Geoff's thread. I hope he finds out about his octant (or backstaff or pentant). Good question - when did the US navy adopt the anchor symbol? I would have thought that most American stuff during the revolution would have been captured from the Royal Navy and bear their symbols.

As to Mt. Saint Gregoire, keeping with political correctness and the current federal mentality we must destroy anything British that might hint of unifying the country or be contrary to multiculturalism!
