Seems a bit out of date now. What the Royal Navy stamps on its anchors may have been interesting in 1911, but probably isn't that interesting to us all now (assuming its even still true). By contrast there are no details of the many different types of anchors now in use, and their relative effectiveness. Most (though probably not all, haven't got the right book to hand) of these have been developed post 1911.

Will try to knock up a rough draft soon.

I've had a first attempt at introducing a short section with more information on actually anchoring, which is probably what people are really looking for. Not sure what to do about the Brittanica text. It seems overly long. The history should probably be kept (and could always be moved to a separate article if this article grows too long), but what about the last couple of "current" paragraphs, that are no longer accurate?

rewrite

I am in the process of preparing a rewrite for this article at Anchor, and soliciting suggestions/comments. - Amgine 07:28, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
