19 _____ We drope anchor untill 1400 today. At 1400 we took in anchor because reminds of a sunken Mine sweeper was drifting close to ship. Tugs later came along & took mine sweeper away. We shifted births at 1600 but still didn't do any firing al[l] night or during day.______________________
reminds = remnants or remains
Minesweepers were small naval vessels based on the design of the fishing trawler, for identifying and detonating mines before they could sink the larger ships. The photo shows the minesweeper USS Pivot.
