Anchor - Merseyside Maritime Museum - Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. - Satellite Imagery Oddities on Waymarking.com

The anchor located outside the entrance to the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock is a relic that was saved from the wooden battleship HMS Conway.

A brass plaque attached to the anchor is inscribed with the following information;
'HMS CONWAY was built in 1893 as a 92 gun
wooden battleship and converted in 1876 to a
school ship. She was anchored in the Mersey
for many years before being moved to North Wales
where she was wrecked in the Menai Straits in
1953. Among the relics saved from the old
battleship is this anchor, donated by The
Conway Club.'

"The Admiralty pattern anchor from HMS Conway can be seen on the quayside in front of the museum.
Following the loss of the ship in 1953, the anchor was recovered in 1968 and kept by the parade ground at the 'Stone Frigate' training school in Plas Newydd, Anglesey. It was donated to the museum in 1980." Source: (visit link)
