    Default Whats wrong with this tag

    This was off an old Samurai Sloop this past week (Boat was a derelict) However, I noticed something wrong with it. Besides the fact it was built in Japan, can you spot the problem?

    This new ship here is fitted according to the reported increase of knowledge among mankind. Namely, she is cumbered end to end with bells and trumpets and clocks and wires. It has been told to me she can call voices out of the air or the waters to con the ship while her crew sleep. But sleep though lightly. It has not yet been told to me that the sea has ceased to be the sea.--Rudyard Kipling

    It appears to read "MASTHEAD - WL", so it's a perfectly viable measurement. The dash is not very obvious, though.
