One of the main anchors of the “Amerigo Vespucci”, for any doubt about the size look here.
The backup anchor, known as “ancora di rispetto”.

A great big ship needs great big anchors...would not, I repeat, would not want to be pulled off site onto a sandbar or a reef!
Your photos are again very well composed and show great colors!
Nice shots VP. Thank you for your birthday wishes.
There are times, life needs any support, anchor available.
Please have a good Friday.

Wow! Huge anchors. Thanks for the pictures.
Those look very heavy! Great shots.
I suppose you would need all that weight to keep that huge ship from moving.
No doubts whatsoever as to the size. I love anchors and the stories they beg to tell.
Anchors are just strong and impressive and mysterious, no matter how you long at them.
Anchors seem to be great subject! Shame there aren't many here:)
Can you imagine if that thing got stuck?
Bonjour dear friend,
This anchor is huge indeed, but I think it's normal for a big ship like
Amerigo Vespucci.Thanks so much for the different angles , your pictures are beautiful!
Hugs and happy weekend,

There is something romantic about anchors... bet they have good stories to tell. I really like the color story you tell with your photos today, VP.
It looks very heavy but I'm still surprised that it can anchor a whole ship :D
