Equipment - Anchor and chain, 20th century

Historical information

This anchor with chain was dredged from Warrnambool's Breakwater area in Lady Bay during a dredging operation around the 1980s. The anchor only has one fluke instead of the usual two and this is likely to mean that it was used as a boat's mooring anchor.

Significance

This anchor is an example of the type of mooring equipment used during the 20th century in Lady Bay. It is part of the local maritime history.

Physical description

Anchor, one fluke, with length of heavy chain attached to the shank.
