The anchor of the Nashwauk

It seems that there was some concern in July 2009 re the SS Nashwauk's anchor. The anchor was, at that time, located in the Moana Beach Tourist Park.

Australian National Museum senior curator Richard Reid apparently wanted to take the anchor to the museum in Canberra. This resulted in several letters to the Southern Times messenger at the time.
