Arkansas Struck a Ledge During Harbor Entry
The battleship Arkansas brushed an uncharted rock entering Rockland harbor last Sunday afternoon at a rapid pace. The vessel sustained minor damage but continued official trials and achieved the fastest speed of its class. Captain Charles A. Blair commanded the ship and was cleared of blame as the reef was not charted. The Arkansas drew 291 feet of water, the harbor’s deepest draft entry to date.
