KEY WEST - Captain Gary Randolph and 1st Mate John Corcoran find a galleon anchor while magging aboard our
new survey boat, The Huntress.
WOW! This thing is so cool. It took several days and lots of dives to move enough sand
off of it so it could be identified. The anchor was located approximately a mile South
of the main pile and is pointing direcly toward it. It's amazing that after being on the
ocean floor for almost 400 years that the wood that makes up the stock is still in place.
What is even more amazing is that hemp rope is still attached to the ring! Check out these
