Abstract
    The anchor is probably the single most important piece of equipment any vessel takes to sea - and even on land a potent symbol of hope and constancy. Anchors explains how this apparently simple piece of equipment developed from the pierced stones of ancient times to the modern high-tech devices designed to hold oil platforms in position.
