Lot 225: A Collection of Marine Equipment Including a Plough-Style Anchor, a Grapnel Anchor and Associated Chains
A collection of marine equipment comprising anchors and various lengths of chain. The group includes a large plough-style anchor, similar in design to a CQR, featuring a hinged shank and a broad fluke. Cast markings are present on the shank of this anchor but are not clearly legible due to significant surface oxidation and wear. Also included is a smaller folding four-fluke grapnel anchor. The anchors are accompanied by two distinct lengths of chain: one heavy-link rusted iron chain and a second lighter-gauge galvanised steel chain. A white paper tag is attached to the larger anchor with adhesive tape, bearing the printed and handwritten text decoration, small ships burner, and £20.00.
