From the historical marker at the anchor:
The Sallie Marmet Anchor
In August of 1925, while steaming into the port of Cincinnati, the boat Sallie Marmet hit and sunk on this anchor. The anchor was then raised by diver Tom McGuffin and brought to Point Pleasant, where it was placed against the park flagpole in 1929. The anchor was later identified as belonging to an early naval clipper ship.
