There are many types of anchor, the Hout Bay Yacht Club has a nice twin fluke design, I guess its dated about 1750 to 1850, either way they have just dropped it.
Where did we find this, easy enough to see why it was lost, the eye in the shank has gone missing.
Check the size of this brute, its solid cast iron, none of that flimsy welded stuff for the HBYC.
Last I saw was the HBYC Vice Commodore, Jeremy Nel, discussing its placement with a club employee.
Before those nice flukes were buried, I really do hope they display the full anchor next time!
