Rodger patent anchor (1846)
Scale: Unknown. Model of an anchor design patented by Lieutenant William Rodger in 1846. The anchor is made of wood and painted black overall. It is secured to a stand by two dowels which fit into two recessed holes in the shank. There is a circular hole in the crown.
This is one of two models mounted on the same baseboard and comparing a standard Admiralty pattern anchor (SLR1892) with Rodger's design (this model). The baseboard has been made from wood, with rounded corners on which two plaques have been recessed, one of which is missing. The remaining plaque reads "Lieu. Wm Rodgers patent anchor. 1846." A support for the two anchors is attached to the baseboard by two pillars.
