The plaque reads:
"petta ankeri er af Bruarfossi
sem HF Eimskipafélag Islands
lét smiða Í Danmörku 1927.
Félagió átti Bruaifoss Í 30 á
enda eitt af farsælustu
skipum télagsins
fyn og siðar."
Google Translation:
"This anchor is by Bruarfoss
as HF Eimskipafélag Islands
made a construction in Denmark in 1927.
The club had Bruaifoss for 30 years
one of the most successful
shipping company
nice and honest."
My understanding:
"The anchor belonged to the Brúarfoss ship made in Denmark in 1927 for the Icelandic Steamship Company Eimskip, a successful and honest shipping company. The company owned Brúarfoss for 30 years."
