Anchor

An Admiralty Pattern anchor; ideally, when this anchor rests on the seafloor, it is turned 90 degrees from the position shown here, so the sharp point of one fluke is dug into the bottom, the other is pointing straight up, and the arms are lying level on the seafloor

An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. The word derives from Latin ancora, which itself comes from the Greek ἄγκυρα (ankura).

Anchors can either be temporary or permanent. Permanent anchors are used in the creation of a mooring, and are rarely moved; a specialist service is normally needed to move or maintain them. Vessels carry one or more temporary anchors, which may be of different designs and weights.
