🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify the major parts of the anchor in the illustration: shank, crown, and flukes • Notice whether the anchor has a stock (a crosspiece at right angles to the shank) or not • Recall which common shipboard anchors used today are called stockless or patent anchors in commercial service

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the top and bottom of the anchor: do you see any horizontal bar or crosspiece that would interfere with the anchor being hove tight into the hawse pipe? • Compare the broad, pivoting flukes in the picture with the long, flat flukes and side stock you’d expect on a Danforth anchor—how are they different? • Think about which type of anchor is commonly used on large commercial vessels and why its shape in this drawing would fit easily into a hawse pipe or hawsehole

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether a stock is present anywhere on the drawing • Check the shape of the flukes—are they long and flat like a Danforth, or short and heavy like a stockless ship’s anchor? • Decide which choice name is most often associated with the modern stockless anchor used on merchant ships, as opposed to an older Admiralty pattern with a big cross stock
