  One observation on Bruitish Naval Anchors; i believe they came in a standard shape and size in 2 foot increments; that is , 6, 8, 12 feet and larger; though the 18 foot anchors in Antigua, probably used on Ships of the Line had a different shape and style.

As most who respect Marine Archaeology, Peter Throckmorton was my hero. I read everything he wrote. In the 1980's I was part of a group called the Marine Archaeological Council. We had a research permit for a Fort Lauderdale historic shipwreck, but could not excavate without an underwater archaeologist, so I called Peter Throckmorton. That group raised funds to hire him, he was our archaeologist 1984-85. He and I shared an incredible rapport from the moment I met him at the airport. Those years MAC also sponsored the Greater Fort Lauderdale Shipwreck Symposium which was attended by leading Archaeologists and Treasure hunters. 1984 was a debate between them, 1985 was a forum on how they could work together. Peter was one of the first archaeologists to work with treasure hunters, realizing they had funds Universities did not, but needed Archaeological expertise. Peter liked Florida, stayed here winters, returned to Maine summers. He taught Marine Archaeology at Nova University, I took his course. My hero became my friend and mentor. When he passed away about 1990, MAC dedicated an 1800 British anchor on the Riverwalk to him. I shipped his apartment possessions to his family in Maine, but they chose not to claim his library and files at the University. His books went into the Nova Library, Nova gave me his file cabinet. I have stored it over 30 years, it is time to share it with the world. I am offering Copies; files shown are copies, which I will send you; Please tell me if you want them punched for a 3 ring binder. I normally do not, but can if requested.
