Modern anchors trace their roots to early stone and wooden designs from Mediterranean cultures, with major advances arriving in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Admiralty pattern, refined by the British Royal Navy in the 1840s, set the tone with its fluked arms and cross-stock that improved holding power.

By the 20th century, navies adopted stockless designs such as the Hall anchor for easier handling and reliable set. Modern anchors span a wide range of sizes to match the vessel: small craft often use 20–50 pound units, while large ships rely on gear weighing tens of thousands of pounds. As a reference point, aircraft carriers commonly employ anchors in the 30-ton class, and destroyers or cruisers typically carry anchors of roughly 5–15 tons.

Each 12 oz Antique Finish The Anchor Silver Statue ships in a protective box and includes a matching Certificate of Authenticity. These statues feature an antique finish, with purity and an individual serial number applied by laser. Every piece is struck in sterling silver, providing .925 fine silver content for the statue.

The 12 oz Antique Finish The Anchor Silver Statue showcases the familiar lines of a contemporary anchor. Beyond basic mooring, today’s naval anchors help with emergency stopping, station-keeping during operations, and stability when weather turns rough. Many advanced ships employ more than one solution—traditional anchors, dynamic positioning with thrusters, and specialty designs chosen to grip different seabeds.
