Title
Condition of Anchors Unfit for Frigates, Extra Supplies With Pennock
Description
Truxtun had purchased a small quantity of slops just before a shipment of them arrived from Philadelphia. The extra have been placed under the care of Mr. Pennock where they can supply other ships. Truxtun has also left extra lanterns with Pennock. The ventilators have not arrived. The ship Constellation has too deep a draught to go into southern ports without removing guns. The ship lost one of its anchors the day before, one which Truxtun apparently found inadequate.
