Massive Anchor at Fort Flagler
Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2020 10:31 am
Had a wonderful dive at Ft. Flagler yesterday. 25+ vis, lots of rockfish and cod, old medicine bottles, more live ammunition (30-06, circa WWI), and this massive anchor in the video, with probably 100ft of heavy chain.
The video starts at the top of the anchor where I brush some silt off a massive shackle, and the fluke are about 6ft high. If you know any history behind this please post it here. Also looks like there are several large cables wrapped around the anchor, perhaps from submarine nets.
