Who's Anchor Is This?? Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By Margieh on 11-May-10. Waypoint GA2092

One of the last photos I took on Rottnest Island was of an Anchor.

On 30 January 1860, The Mira Flores foundered and sank after being driven onto Horseshoe Reef off Rottnest Island. She was at the end of a voyage from London to Fremantle carrying general cargo, under the command of Captain Witt. Owned by W. Moach of Germany, the 49.2 metre iron barque had been built by Bowdler, Chaffer and Co in Liverpool in 1867, and was registered in Rostock, Germany. Several cartridges, bullets, timber handles, bottles, a lead ingot marked ‘Babbitt’s Patent’ with a coat of arms, and the anchor, have been salvaged from the wreck site.

The anchor in my image was recovered in 1982 where the “Resolution” was wrecked nearby (Swansea Tasmania) in 1850. Sadly, six children lost their lives. Thanks for the cache.

EDITHBURGH SA.
Yorke Peninsula.
Wreck of the Clan Ranald.
The SS Clan Ranald was a 108-metre-long steel-hulled turret deck ship, that arrived in Australia in January 1909 and was taking a cargo of wheat, flour and coal to transport to South Africa. The ship left Adelaide but within hours had lurched onto its starboard side and began taking on water. Its lifeboats were smashed by rough seas which drove it towards Troubridge Hill, south-west of Edithburgh where it capsized and sank with the loss of 40 of the 64 souls on board.

I was in the area to get a photo to use with GA26751 Coastal Navigation Marks when I spotted these anchors outside the Maritime Museum. Whose Anchors Are These ? Well the plaque states that the large anchor came from an iron barque, the Eden Holme, which was wrecked on Hebe Reef in 1907. Hebe Reef is just outside the mouth of the Tamar River. The Eden Holme was the last of the sailing ships taking wool to London.

The smaller anchor, ship unknown, was found on nearby Dotterel Point.

Gosford, NSW

Found this anchor out the front of the Gosford Sailing Club while we were part of a Clean Up Australia Day event along the Gosford Foreshore with the local Joey Scout mob. It looks pretty shiny and possibly a bit thin so I'm not sure if it is a proper anchor or a stylized emblem for the sailing club.

Been a few years since we visited the sailing club proper, it seems to have been renovated a couple of times since then. Might need to pay it another visit one of these days.

Have taken many photos for this cache since it was published but when going to log it they had already been used.
But this one which we discovered recently at Swansea on the east coast of Tasmania is good to go.
The ship was the Resolution and when returning to Swansea from Hobart it got in to trouble and all six children on board drowned.

I found this anchor in Willis Street, Launceston, it is in the forecourt of TasPorts but no information can be found (so far) on this particular anchor. So here is some information about TasPorts:

TasPorts is responsible for the management and maintenance of essential infrastructure in Tasmania, which includes forestry terminal operations in Burnie and Bell Bay, all associated infrastructure at the Devonport Airport as well as maintenance of port berths, channels, wharves, landside assets, marine fleet and key navigational aids.

TasPorts ensures the safe control and security of all major ports and delivers critical pilotage services as well as provision of towage, slipway and refuelling facilities, supply of floating plant and equipment for marine engineering projects, and construction and coastal haulage.

Who’s anchor is this?

Why it’s the bow anchor from the steamer, the SS Alberta (3398 tons) wrecked in October 1880 on Sutherland Reef, just East of Cook Island.

The anchor was recently preserved and now forms a centre piece to the Merchant Navy memorial at Point Danger (Qld/NSW). There are a number of maritime memorials at Point Danger, the centre piece of which is the memorial to the Hospital Ship Centaur. The Merchant Navy memorial commerates their service in World War 2 and other conflicts.

Thank you for the locationless.

Found these ones in Venice outside the Maritime museum when I was looking for the GC multi in the area. GC474AN

The two anchors belong to two battleships of the Tegetthoff Class (also called Viribus Unitis Class) of k.u.k. Kriegsmarine (Imperial Royal Austro-Hungarian Navy), made up of four dreadnoughts launched between 1912 and 1915.

#GA502 - 17:00; In Sydney with Sol de lune, fitzy_1965 and toyhunters for the ' Let's Party - Come Celebrate Australia's First' event and on the way home we were collecting a few caches along the way. We were in Parramatta to gather information for an earthcache and I noticed the anchors at the HMAS Parramatta Memorial, so grabbed a photo to log with this cache. Not sure the anchors actually belonged to any of the ships of that name, so I'm not sure this log actually answers the question that the cache poses? Hmmmm! TFTC Margieh

Stopped while geocaching in the Newport area, on Irrubel Road, to take a photo of this classic anchor outside the Roytal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, right at their gates.

I couldn't find any information about its origins, though.

This anchor and capstan is located in Bellerive near the wharf there isn't a plaque so I have no other details.

This anchor is located opposite the main wharf at Hamilton island. It is right outside ' Pirate Pete's, trading store. There is no plaque attached so I do not know any other details.

Doh, I always forgot to put my GPS in the photo... So for this one, I'm submitting my log for "The Dead Centre" cache that starts very close to this anchor memorial as proof of my visit today. This anchor is part of a memorial to deceased comrades of the Permanent Naval Force of Victoria.

WanderingAus wandered by, having negotiated with iluvtrekking so that I could retrieve a moveable cache owned by Bundyrumandcoke from Star Swamp to take it to Oz Mega Albury Wodonga.

While I was in the area I decided to swing by Hillarys Boat Harbour to 'visit' the lighthouse Waymark, which I'd missed at the time of the 'GC3C8YW Leap Year 2012 By Everlasting' event due to it's temporary relocation to Mexico (which happens a lot in Waymarking).

On my way in I spotted this pair of anchors displayed on an open paved area between the entry road and the exit road to Hillarys Boat Harbour and Sorrento Quay.



The Hillarys Boat Harbour was officially opened by the then Premier of Western Australia the Honourable Brian Burke on 15 January, 1988. There is no information available to identify the source of the two anchors, but it is believed they were placed prior to the official opening.

length - 264 ft; beam 39 ft; draught - 23 ft."

Found in Eden, which seems to have any number of town anchors given its maritime history. Just across the road from another one already logged for this cache. This one is dedicated to the foundations members of the Eden recreational fishermen's club, but don't know the boat it came from. Thanks Margieh.

Found this anchor at the Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability in Waverton. There was no information about the Anchor. A fantastic andf little known place. Here is some info;

The Sydney Coal Bunkering Company began building a coal loader in 1917 on the western side of Balls Head to act as a steamship bunkering station. It was the most advanced means of loading coal into steamers then available in Sydney Harbour. Coal from colliers was dumped onto a huge timber and rock platform on the shore. It was fed by gravity down chutes to four tunnels below, and then into waiting hopper cars which were then hauled by cable out to a long wharf. The coal was loaded as fuel onto the steamers docked alongside. In November 1940 a freak wind storm damaged one of the gantry cranes beyond repair, leaving only one crane in operation until the late 1950s. Operations at the coal loader ceased in October 1992.”

Ian Hoskins, Council Historian at Stanton Library, North Sydney, 2010 at (visit link)

The wharf, coal-loading platform, tunnels and a few brick administrative buildings remain as evidence of bunkering operations. North Sydney Council has redeveloped the site from an industrial dockfront into a learning and participation 'hub' for sustainable living. The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability features the Caretaker's Cottage environmental education centre, a community garden, community nursery, workshop spaces, an indigenous garden and surrounding harbourside parklands. You can walk through the tunnels, enjoy the sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour, learn about living in harmony with the environment and go Geocaching all in one place!

I was working at Redfern, outside the tall tower blocks there and found this anchor monument with no information or signs anywhere to be found.
It stands about 10feet high, and is quite out of place in an inner-city suburban location, especially without any details.

This is the grave/memorial site for members of the Berry & Hay families who were pioneers of the Shoalhaven district. There is a new GC cache somewhere nearby - I say somewhere because I had the privilige of lodging a FTLDNF. I took a photo of the memorial for a waymark & just noticed that there is an anchor on top of the column. I'll have another go at the cache (I have a GCA cache nearby - Coolangatta ICEM) & see if I can get the GPSr in a photo.

WanderingAus wandered by, exploring around Esperance with the WanderingMrs and our three oldest grandchildren, and after visiting Lake Monjingup Recreational Area where we found The Monji Maze, and finding GC27GCA Pet's Rest By trouvers, I needed one more cache before hunting down my 2,700th Groundspeak cache find, and my 4,700th find overall.

We were driving down the Esplanade, when GC336A0 Clickety clack By goosebumpers popped up on the TomTom. The WanderingMrs dropped me on the roadway and went to explore down towards the wharf, while I walked over and made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find thanks to very good coords. After logging the find and taking an extra photo for GA2658 Miniature Railways By Coruze I crossed the road to wait for pickup and spotted this Sailing Ship Anchor in Port Authority Park.



The Sailing Ship Anchor was discovered during dredging of the Esperance Harbour and erected by the Esperance Port Authority in September 1988, in acknowledgement of the completion of the deepening of the harbour to 13 metres by the Westham Dredging Company dredge "W.H. RESOLUTION".

WanderingAus wandered by, exploring around Esperance with the WanderingMrs and our three oldest grandchildren, accompanied by our son, his wife, and our two youngest grandchildren.

We parked near Adventureland Park beside the Esplanade for lunch, and I took a walk towards the Boat Harbour and spotted this anchor.



The anchor was placed by the Esperance Port Authority to honour Donald Hugh Ardross Mackenzie, who arrived in Esperance in 1947 to begin fishing and island cruises. Over the following 25 years he continued to operate and grow the business, and in 1972 won a tug contract to service the Port of Esperance. Two of Don's sons joined him in the business and together they built up the tug service as well as the tourism side of the business, including the development of Woody Island. Currently the business operates three tugs and extensive tourism operations, and a number of Don's grandchildren are involved with the operation of both industries.

This is the anchor of the "James Service" which hit a reef off Mandurah on 22nd July 1878 and sank with the loss of all on board. The three masted,iron hulled, barque was on a voyage from Calcutta via Penang and bound for Melbourne.Of 455tons and a length of 46.7m it was built at Govan Scotland, it now lies in 5 - 8m of water at the south end of Murray Reef. When lost it had a cargo of 3000cases of castor oil, jute sacks and bales of jute

Anchor at the HMAS Shropshire Memorial, Shropshire Park, Ulverstone, Tasmania

HMAS Shropshire was an 8” London cruiser. It was presented to the Royal Australian Navy by the British Government following the sinking of HMAS Anberra in August 1942. The ship saw service in Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian and pacific theatres of war and was in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese suurrender. Shropshire Park contains extensive Australian Navy historical information and plaques to many ex-sailors. There is no information in the park confirming that the anchor is from HMAS Shropshire but as the ship was eventually decommissioned and broken up, it is probable that it is an anchor from the ship.

Don't know any history of these.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 50 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the Darwin Cinema Complex for a viewing of the final Harry Potter movie, I had over 2 hours of caching time available. There weren't a lot of physical caches I hadn't found within a reasonable distance, so I decided today would be mostly a locationless hunt.
