Three huge anchors are painted black and arranged in a triangular pyramid. A hemisphere spray of water is emitted from the center of the anchors and flows through channels between the anchors to a circular basin below.
The oval plaque on the mall side of the fountain is inscribed:
MINISTRY OF WORKS

ENGINEERING AND HOUSING
The Anchor Fountain is the focal point of the area and is a magnet for many cruise ship passengers to have their photograph taken upon disembarking in Kings Wharf.
