Anchor

On top of the wall at about 35 feet lies an enormous anchor with a shaft of about 8 feet and flukes nearly 6 feet across. Blue Water Divers puts its age at well over 100 years and says it is of a type used by British Royal Navy warships of that era, though the ship is unknown. Coral and sponges now cover the anchor, and its chain, with links the size of dinner plates, runs west over the wall until it disappears into the coral at about 60 feet. The site is known for abundant fish life, and the rare fingerprint cyphoma has been reported here.
