INTRODUCTION : An Anchor is a
hook, attached to a length of chain
called a cable by which a ship can be
held temporarily to seabed . In olden
days the Anchor was a rock attached
to a rope. Then when iron and steel
replaced wood in ship construction
and sail gave way to steam engines
steel Anchors of various designed were
made, from which the modern Anchor
is derived, and iron and steel cable 1

TYPES OF ANCHORS
The bigger the vessel , the heavier must be her anchor. Anchor
also vary in design and performance as well as in size.. The
most common types in use are as follows:-
CQR ANCHOR :
DANFORTH ANCHOR :
Generally called as
stocked close stowing anchor , accepted as small boat
anchor . It has a stock passed through the crown of the
anchor to prevent the anchor from rolling when its
flukes digs into the ground. It can be stowed in to the
house pipe same as stockless anchor. The ratio
between holding power and anchor weight increases as
the size decreases. It fits neatly into the hawsepipe and
can be secured as efficiently as stockless anchor.

CHAIN CABLE
The long shank of the stockless bower anchor fits
inside the house pipe, whereas its arms rest snugly
against the ship side. The Anchor shackle on top of the
anchor is connected to a long studded chain cable . The
chain is made up of lengths of 27.5 meters each, joined
together by lugless joining shackle. Each length is called
one shackle of chain. A length of chain cable will always
contain an odd numbers of links to ensure that the
joining shackle will pass around the cable holder in
correct plane . Joining shackle being slightly larger than
common links should lie vertically round a cable holder
and horizontally over the gypsy of windlass. This will
ensure they do not jam. There may be 8 or 9 shackles of
chain in each bower anchor. The studs make the chain
stronger and prevent the chain from kinking.
It is a three part
shackle joined together with a pin and pallet ,used to join two
shackles of anchor cable.
