In Gendt ligt op een pleintje een groot anker, de enige informatie staat op een plaquette op de stenen sokkel.
Het anker is geschonken door Vahali een scheepswerf in Gendt.
Op de plaquette staan de jaartallen 1922-1962 en dat het Anker is geschonken door Vahali, vermoedelijk dus in 1962 de reden waarom is onduidelijk.
In Gendt there is a large anchor on a square, the only information is on a plaque on the stone pedestal.
The anchor was donated by Vahali, a shipyard in Gendt.
The plaque states the years 1903-1962 and that the Anchor was donated by Vahali, probably in 1962, the reason why is unclear.
"VAHALI has a long history in shipbuilding.
It was established in 1923 in the Netherlands on the shores of the river Waal between Arnhem and Nijmegen. In order to remain competitive, VAHALI had to expand and purchased shipbuilding facilities in Serbia.
The latest acquisition is the shipyard in Zasavica-Macvanska Mitrovica, near Belgrade Serbia. After an intensive renovation and modernisation, this yard is now fully operational since mid 2014.
