{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The modern anchor has its beginnings in ancient maritime cultures, where early designs relied on stone or wood for holding power. As naval engineering advanced in the 18th and 19th centuries, new solutions emerged, including the Admiralty anchor perfected by the British Royal Navy in the 1840s. Its fluked arms and stock offered improved performance and durability. BGASC now offers the 12 oz Antique Finish The Anchor Silver Statues for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Highlights:
Each 12 oz Antique Finish The Anchor Silver Statue ships with its own protective box and Certificate of Authenticity. These statues display an antique surface treatment with laser-engraved serial numbers and silver purity markings. Every piece contains .925 fine silver as part of its sterling silver composition.
Design
The 12 oz Antique Finish The Anchor Silver Statue captures the simple yet essential role of the modern anchor. Anchors today do more than hold a ship in placethey assist with halting vessels quickly, keeping position during operations, and improving stability when seas turn rough. Many fleets employ both traditional anchors and advanced systems like dynamic thrusters or specialized anchors for unique seabed conditions.
History
Stockless anchors gained prominence in the 20th century, particularly with the Hall anchor design, which simplified handling while delivering reliable holding strength. Naval anchors now vary in size based on vessel needs. Small craft may use anchors weighing only a few dozen pounds, while massive ships require equipment weighing many tons. For example, aircraft carriers use anchors approaching 30 tons, whereas destroyers or cruisers typically rely on those in the 515 ton class.
