Anchors

 

Three anchors were discovered on the site. These anchors were not used by the ship, but carried as cargo. They are all single fluked and have ground tackle rings in their crowns. Two of the anchors are of the same pattern, with the third being markedly different with a sharper rise of fluke. It was beneath the anchors that the preponderance of small artifacts were recovered, including 0.69 caliber lead shot, four six pound iron shot, a copper alloy tea kettle, a round copper ring or base, and much more.
