SEA AND AIR
Mooring and anchoring

FOR LARGE VESSELS IN OPEN WATER, ANCHORAGE IS ESSENTIAL. By holding a ship securely STONE ANCHOR
to the seabed, an anchor prevents the vessel from being at the mercy of wave, tide, (KILLICK)
and current. The earliest anchors were nothing more than stones. In later years,
many anchors had a standard design, much like the Admiralty pattern anchor Rope
shown on this page. The Danforth anchor is somewhat different. hole
TYPES It has particularly deep flukes to give it great holding power. On
OF ANCHOR large sailing ships, anchors were worked by teams of sailors.
They turned the drum of a capstan by pushing on bars
slotted into the revolving cylinder. This, in turn, lifted or
lowered the anchor chain. In calm harbors and estuaries,
ships can moor (make fast) without using anchors. Berthing
CLOSE- ropes can be attached to bollards both inboard and on the quayside.
STOWING Berthing ropes are joined to each other by bends, like those opposite.
