from The Ship Report · host The Ship Report

Fouled anchor off Astoria A ship in the Astoria Anchorage this week experienced a fouled anchor: that's when the anchor chain is wrapped around the anchor. This created a situation the ship could not handle alone and so they obtained the services of a barge with a crane to help untangle things.  This incident offers a great segue into anchors and anchor chains and how they work to keep these gigantic ships in place despite raging currents in the river.  Show transcript here: http://shipreport.nfshost.com/audio/SRTranscript080224.pdf
