Ocean coast anchor test seeks stable harbor for vessel
Navigators deem the Atlantic mud near the coast perilous for anchorage. Commodore George F B Wilde, naval secretary of the Lighthouse Board, designed a vessel using a 6000 pound mushroom anchor with 1080 feet of cabin chain totaling 72 tons. A steel buoy over 1000 cubic feet aids weight reduction, and officials expect the anchor to sink and secure a firm hold soon, with results eagerly awaited.
