2nd Entry, 1110 Hours: Once the anchor's hooked, Mr. Burmester and Mr. Woodworth sweat and tail the tackle, heaving the anchor up onto the channel. The anchor weighs 400 lbs., with the weight of the chain at least doubling that; it's only through the mechanical advantage granted by the block-and-tackle system that our crew can lift it. Mouse over (or click on) the image to see the fore deck team hard at work.
