Bully MacGraw Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Does anyone have a source for a fisherman's anchor? These are the traditional anchors that we see used in drawings and insignias. I found a UK source but I am trying to find one UPSable. Also I need an 18th century compass. Any sources Cheers Those destined to hang, shall not fear drowning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Are you looking for an antique compass or a reproduction? On the anchor, are you looking for a full-sized repro, a functional anchor in the traditional style (say for use on a reenactment vessel) an authentic antique or a scale model, say for use as a decoration? If so, how large? My guess is that that you're looking for a functional repro, so here is a manufacturer in Maine. This one is for use on small crafts. Nice-looking and authentic in style. Let me know if this isn't what you're after: anchor -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 See the previous message for anchor info. Are you seeking English? There are a lot of different types. Fill me in if I'm getting warm with these guesses: Here is a beautiful antique 18th century French compass... compass Here is a repro of an English ship's compass, my guess is that this is what you're after? repro compass A beautiful chinese one: Chinese compass Another pretty amazing Chinese compass: Chinese compass 2 -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Frye Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Claire, you didn't happen to come across any Gaelic compasses, did you? I believe Bully's looking to accessorize his longboat. Bully, firshermen's anchors seem to be mighty thin on the ground in the U.S., at least online, but they pop up some in the UK and down under. http://marinestore.co.uk/Merchant2/merchan...Code=classchain http://www.southernmarine.co.uk/index.htm I wonder what the shipping is from the UK on a boat anchor? Edit: Oops, just re-read your post--somehow missed the fact you already had a UK source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I'm glad the anchor was what you were looking for. I'll see what I can find in the way of a more appropriate compass. Do you want a repro or an antique or would you consider either depending upon the price? -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully MacGraw Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 A repo will be best. I am outfitting the long boat and an antique would not float! Those destined to hang, shall not fear drowning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
