BTW, some real ‘‘ocean’’ news, and also the Ark is involved, as on 3 Jan. 2018, so less then two weeks ago, in the harbor of Urk in the Netherlands.....................
The huge anchors would have been suspended from the keel of the ship. This was a common practice among ancient mariners to stabilize a heavy ship and ensure that the bow is always facing the on-coming waves. A "top heavy" ship, such as the Ark, could easily be capsized by a wave approaching from the side.
