ClipperFan Posted August 15, 2022 #3211 Posted August 15, 2022 Rob, In case Mike hasn't seen it yet, I'm going to share this fascinating article with him. As soon as I read this I thought of Glory of the Seas, especially since it mentioned that this anchor was actually discovered in Unalaska, a place where she was specifically towed to as a salmon processing plant.

Right. There must be some info on if and when she lost an anchor. However, the images of her being fitted out before she left for Alaska.....show she already possessed her iron anchors with iron stocks Interesting notion, if it was true.

Rob Rob, One thing's for sure. There wouldn't have been a lot of vessels with 1850s era wooden stock anchors plying the waters of Unalaska, Bristol Bay, Alaska. From the size of this remarkably well preserved example, it would have had to be a fairly large ship too, to need such a substantial anchor.

But we have to remember...she had iron stock anchors while being fitted out as a canary. Pics of this time frame don't lie. Now, when she was still active in the timber trade...she did indeed travel North to Alaska to trade timber...we know that from other pictures of her there. She might have lost an anchor then....before her canary days. We need to know if any records show or document such an event.

Rob, That first overall deck view of Glory of the Seas from her bow looking towards her stern in the distance, really drives home what a substantial vessel she really was. Your Clipper Ship is so accurate that, other than the model building background, it would be easy to believe your staring at the actual vessel herself. Great to see you in action again.
