Which term describes the process of lifting the anchor from the bottom?
⢠Standard anchoring terminology used on deck when handling anchors ⢠Difference between moving the ship using the anchor versus raising the anchor off the seabed ⢠Common phrases you hear on the bridge or forecastle when preparing to get underway from anchor
⢠Think about what word or phrase you usually hear when a vessel is getting ready to leave an anchorage and the anchor is being brought up from the bottom. ⢠Consider which options describe changing the anchorâs position along the bottom versus actually lifting it clear of the seabed. ⢠Ask yourself: which term would the officer or bosun use to report that the anchor is no longer on the bottom and is coming up to the hawse pipe?
⢠Identify which term specifically means raising the anchor vertically off the bottom, not dragging it along the seabed. ⢠Eliminate any option that suggests moving the anchor sideways or altering its position without fully recovering it. ⢠Confirm which term youâve seen in Nautical/Seamanship manuals or heard in standard bridge/anchor reports like "Anchor is ____" when getting underway.
