Yeah, while riding their momentum forward at eight knots, they didn't drop anchor. What were they thinking?!?

I read that they did at least drop the port anchor, but it had little to no effect on stopping the ship.

I watched a video analysis that said that port anchor cut speed from 8.5 knots to 1.5 knots at impact.
