Huge anchor

Huge anchor (StreetView)
Biggest anchor in Denmark. It was from the Danish ship of the line "Elephanten" (1702-1728).

Elephanten participated in the Battle of Køge Bay 1710 as command ship for the Navy chief, Admiral General Gyldenløve. The ship was 10 years younger and a bit larger than Iver Huitfeldts ship Dannebroge, but otherwise they were designed stingy same as 90 cannon warship with approx. 600 man crew.
