marine salvage yards

[khall1195]

I am clueless when it comes to marine type stuff. I am trying to find an anchor, I would like to have it to use as a decoration in my yard. Does anyone know of any salvage yards?

There used to be a place that advertised w/ signs on the side of Rt. 4, between Prince Frederick and Lusby I believe.

There used to be a really good place in Baltimore, up by Fells Point, but that was 10 years ago. Probably not there anymore.

Being from New York, I don't want to be implicated on anything the anchors might really be used for...

If you find a boat moored in the middle of a creek.. you know there has to be an anchor nearby..







help yourself..

Good thinking... but wouldn't the owner also be nearby?

Not after you take their anchor..

Anchors?? I thought most folks used a cinder block...
Where I live, most folks use a wagon wheel, a cannon or some rusted farm equiptment!

My guess is you are looking for a 'kedge' or a 'navy' anchor.

This decorative kedge looks like it would fill the bill:

This one is (quite) a bit more highbrow:

And here is the classic (and heavy) Navy anchor:

You might want to pass on the 'next day air' shipping upon checkout.

Now, how many shots of chain would you like with that?

Seriously, if you can find a metal fabricator looking for work, you might be able to get him to build a light, decorative kedge anchor for around $500.

He's not talking about the type of anchor that holds down a doublewide.

That would be the auction house in St. Leonard. That would probably be the best bet if it is still there.

Thank you for clearing that up willie!
Oh, and thanks for the schematic, I love playing with the blue wrench!

No it wouldn't. I know the Chesapeake Marketplace Auction House. Go to their sight almost daily, and to their auctions every month or so. I was talking about having seen signs on the side of the road advertising used boat parts and nautical supplies. Just don't remember exactly where I saw them.

There is a place at the Farmer's Market in Charlotte Hall that sells marine stuff. They have a HUGE anchor out front, that is priced at a couple thousand dollars if I remember right - but I think they had a few smaller ones too? You might be able to barter for a good price up there. Maybe.
