Anchors & Chain

Anchors

wooden-stocked anchor
An old-style wooden-stocked anchor stowed alongside on a sailing ship. Note the two hawsepipes where the mooring chains enter the bow.

Not all artifacts are easily recoverable. Ship's anchors often weigh in the hundreds or thousands of pounds and require a well-planned expedition to bring back to shore. At right is an assortment of anchors, from the old-fashioned "Fisherman's" anchor of the 1800s to the modern stockless or "naval" anchor, and its small cousin, the Danforth anchor.
