Probably cast off to lighten the load — especially at the bow given rough seas.

At some radial direction off where the anchor was found is a gold bouillon-laced breadcrumb trail that leads to whatever wasn't jettisoned before she sank.

He’s right. It’s an anchor from a big wooden ship. Or Red Lobster decor.

That anchor, cast iron? Cast steel? Forged steel?

Plates riveted together?

How was it made?

This is why I would never reveal it until I’ve gathered it all.

looks like a generic anchor that could have come from any ship

True, but the period and location is correct for a known ship sinking......................

3D Printer ?

YES, if only I had worked harder in school.
Maybe, I’d have come to that conclusion.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) 3D printers are huge in ship repair yards.

Sadly between the Luddites and the guilds, most of the good high tech equipment disappeared long ago.

Can I go with you guys? I can;t dive anymore, but could add some stunning girls in thongs to help around the deck.
