    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!

    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.

    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,
    Léia

    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
