About this work

Model of an anchor stopper between two decks, consisting of a chute for the chain on a drum and continuing through the starboard chain locker, and a heavy devil's claw hanging from a block on the ship's side. A light devil's claw hangs from a deck beam and from a heavy block against a deck support. A wooden chain with fake weight is added to the model. Scale 1:10 (estimate).
