[DE] Dieser Pilzanker befindet sich im Hafen von Carolinensiel. Mit Pilzankern werden Feuerschiffe oder Seezeichen für längere Zeit festgemacht.

[EN] This mushroom anchor is located in the port of Carolinensiel. Mushroom anchors are used to moor lightships or navigation marks for a longer period of time.
"Lightships were held in position by means of mushroom anchors, which were washed into the seabed. If the ship had to leave its position, the anchor chain was marked with a buoy so that it could be taken back on board later."
