Off course it depends on which type and weight the anchor was, which was also defined by the class or weight of the ship,
=> so about which ship you are looking for?

Jean Boudriot is writing this about his 74-gunner


btw: also interesting to know, that the strength of such a ropw was reduced by 50% already after 4 years - so they had to use oversized cables

I guess it is under "Divers" the line of "cables"
I have to check in my english copy of the La Renommee monograph in the evening

Sanırım "Dalgıçlar"ın altında "kablolar" satırı var.
Akşam La Renommee monografisinin İngilizce kopyasını kontrol etmem gerekiyor.

İngilizce çeviriye bakma şansınız oldu mu?
