A heavily corroded 'fisherman's' anchor lying off the coast of Kythira,Greece. An anchor is a device,normally made of metal,used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. Anchors can either be temporary or permanent. Permanent anchors are used in the creation of a mooring,and are rarely moved; a specialist service is normally needed to move or maintain them. Vessels carry one or more temporary anchors,which may be of different designs and weights. A sea anchor is a drogue,not in contact with the seabed,used to control a drifting vessel | |
