 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.
  • Located in Maryland

Large Folding Stock Anchor

  • Price: SOLD! YOU JUST MISSED IT!
  • 6′ across the flukes, shank is 9′ long
  • Weight approx. 1,600 lbs
  • Location: Maryland
  • This is a large folding stock anchor. It was pulled up by a shrimp boat near the approach to Blackbeard’s creek. It’s big, beautiful and makes quite a statement. It’s been out of the water for 20 years and is very solid.You probably didn’t notice, but one side of the stock didn’t survive and was replaced with a length of pipe long ago. It matches nicely. The anchor displays very well with some crustacean and a length of original chain still attached.

    It’s a head turner and would attract attention in front of your bar restaurant, or private collection.

    It dates from 1850 to 1880.
