Types of Marine Anchors: Diagrams & Applications #2097921 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram displays eleven standardized anchor types used across commercial and naval shipping, each optimized for specific seabed conditions and vessel sizes. Designs range from traditional stockless anchors like the Hall and AC14 to specialized variants such as the Gruson (with fluke reinforcement) and the Pool (high-holding-power delta-style). The illustrations highlight structural differences in shank, crown, and fluke geometry critical for anchoring performance.
