 Diamond Eye Anchor For Sale 

  • PRICE: $7,800 USD
  • You can own a piece of Gloucester history. 
  •   This is a Diamond Eye or Banking anchor. It was pulled from Gloucester harbor decades ago. Probably in service aboard a 3 masted schooner. 
  •   These anchors were forged, exclusively, in Gloucester Mass. No where else. They were made for about 100 years, starting approx 1750.
  •   So, 100 years before Fitz Henry Lane picked up a brush to capture, on canvas, the salty lives of the people and ships of Gloucester, one of the towns forges was making these anchors. 
  •   This one is 10 feet long and 5 feet across the flukes. It has been professionally cleaned and preserved. The stock, is a 6 x 6, shaped with a manual plane and secured with rope, like it would have been 250 years ago. 
  •   The anchor is in excellent condition. Aged enough to show each layer of bog iron that was fused with a welding hammer, but still rock solid. 
  •   Which of Lane’s timeless wooden vessels was held in place by this anchor while his brush recorded history? That question can only be answered by your imagination. 
  •   One thing for sure. You can have your own piece of Gloucester history. 
  • It would make a beautiful display for your marina, restaurant, or private collection. 
  • Free delivery within 500 miles. 
  • It doesn’t get any easier.

We’ve Got A New Chandlery Section!

We’ve started a new Chandlery section of the website (see it at the top of the menu on the left) where we’ll be listing overstock and prior year merchandise where you’ll sometimes pay half of today’s retail price! It takes time to add all the stuff to the list and we all know that too much computer time isn’t good for you, so it may take a while to list it all. But head on over to the Chandlery page and if you see something you like, let us know. We prefer local pickup, but we will ship in certain situations.
