Discover the rich maritime history of Europe and Northern Europe as we explore various anchors and their chains. From the monumental anchor in Keflavik harbor on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, to the historic Dias anchor in Grytviken, South Georgia Island, these anchors tell tales of exploration and industry. Witness the Petrel whale catcher's anchor at Grytviken Whaling Station, now open to visitors, or observe modern naval anchors being deployed aboard US Navy vessels in Yokosuka, Japan. The Rockingham Pitcher's intricate depiction of an anchor and chain is a testament to the enduring significance of these essential maritime tools.
