audiomick Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 I am able to read the writing on the stone when I zoom in. For those who can't for whatever reason, here is what it says: Quote USS OKLAHOMA ANCHOR This anchor was one of three that were added during the Navy’s modernisation of the USS OKLAHOMA in 1927. Manufactured in 1919 by Baldt Anchor Company in Chester, Pennsylvania, the anchor weighs 19,860 pounds. Thanks to the efforts of Rear Admiral John E. Kirkpatrick USNR, Ret. , the USS OKLAHOMA anchor has had a home in Oklahoma City since 1960. Originally located near the Civic Centre at Couch Drive and Robinson Avenue, new construction resulted in the anchor’s move to a Median at Park Avenue and Broadway in 1980. In December 2005 the anchor was moved to its current location. 2 3
