Shocking Revelation: Where did Anchors come from?

The history of the anchor as a symbol of navigation is a long one. In ancient times, anchors were mostly made of stone or wood. They were heavy enough to keep the ship from drifting away. Nowadays, they are usually made of iron and shaped like a cross. Historical records indicate that the earliest versions of anchors were used as religious offerings. The first recorded use of an anchor was in about 1250 B.C. when a Greek merchant ship found itself sinking off the coast of Crete.
