Speaking of anchors, still trying to get an approximate date/origin on this one-found in the
Gulf of Mexico off Naples.

Any guesses? I don't have the dimensions handy-but it was over 6 feet long.

The bottom anchor is older, possibly Spanish. It is at least 200 years old as indicated by the wooden cross beam. The 2 top anchors are of course new anchors. Hard to say, maybe less than 100 years old.
