Description

A large fixed tine iron anchor with wooden crossbeam from a sailing ship. The depositing of redundent anchors from sailing ships in prominent positions is a bit of a coastal town cliche. This one has a very good view.

It would be interesting if anybody knows what ship it served and when?
