„Anchors Aweigh“
is the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and unofficial march song of the United States Navy. It was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann, *1861, †1916, (like Karl August Lingner, inventor of tooth paste Odol). "Weigh anchor" is an old Dutch sailors' expression; it amounts to an order that a ship's anchors be raised. "Anchors aweigh" is often misspelled as "Anchor's away", leading to confusing the terms, and sometimes misunderstanding the order as meaning "to drop anchor". Although the original (now archaic) "aweigh" is verbal and transitive, the "aweigh" used now is adjectival/adverbial in nature and meaning. The song was first played during the Army–Navy football game on December 1, 1906, at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchors_Aweigh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_A._Zimmermann Schweizer Spielwerk: Gueissaz-Jaccard Nr. 2184
