Admiralty anchor

Ahoy there! Do words "admiralty ANCHOR" mean anything to you? They’re a type of anchor that’s been around for ages, used on ships. Let’s take a look at the background behind this iconic anchor

The admiralty pattern is a comparatively new design, dating from the 19th century. It was so named because it was claimed that its color resembled the grey hull of the warship used by the British Royal Navy. The admiralty pattern has a stock, flukes, and a shank. The stock is the bit that is at right angles to the shank and helps the anchor dig into the seabed. The flukes are the sharp points that also help hold the anchor in place.

How admiralty anchors are used on ships and boats

Admiralty Anchor are a type of anchor that are used for ships and boats to keep from drifting away. When a ship has to stay in one place on the water, the anchor is dropped to the bottom of the sea. The anchor’s weight and the construction of the flukes allow it to ‘bite’ into the seabed, preventing the ship from drifting.
