Historic Anchor Recovery: Images 1, 2, and 3 Forward Back Home

 

This is an image of the anchor as it was found resting in the mud 50 feet below the water's surface.
The anchor was lifted free with the use of a barge crane.  The anchor's weight was estimated at over 4000 pounds.
Before transporting the anchor to Texas for restoration, the wood stalk was removed and the chain was cut.
