An anchor is used to hold a boat or other floating object in position, and prevent it from drifting. Ancient anchors were simply a heavy rock dropped into the water at the end of a rope tied to the boat. Since the 19th century, anchors have been made of iron or steel, and shaped in various ways to hook into the bottom with a broad blade, called a fluke. These anchors are typical of ones used on sailing scows and skipjacks one hundred years ago.| HM Number | HM2JUQ |
