A ship's anchor is an essential piece of equipment that secures the vessel in place, preventing it from drifting during rough weather conditions or when not in motion. It consists of a heavy metal object, typically made of iron or steel, with flukes or arms that dig into the seabed to hold the boat steady. The anchor is deployed and retrieved using an anchor winch or windlass, which helps to raise and lower it efficiently.
