About this event
Early anchors were made of stones, each with a carved hole to receive a line. Later, anchors had an iron shank, two arms, a metal ring to receive a line, and a wooden stock. By the mid-19th century, anchors were all of iron. The class includes a primer on anchors and how to archaeologically record them. FWH Museum has 17 anchors, grapnels, and grappling irons.
