Thomas Calpin :—
Dear Sir,—Having used one of your Patent
Anchors on board my vessel on the Banks as it
riding nnrlior, I must say it gave me entire satisfaction and merits all the praise I can give it, and
would advise nil in the trade to adopt this anchor
so as to be rid of the entanglement of stock and
top flukes, whicb would lie a great relief. I have
also used your Patent Anchor for trawl mooring
nnd must say gave entire satisfaction.
