The history of the anchor dates back as far as water travel itself. From the humble beginnings of baskets of stones, sacks filled with sand, and logs tied to vines, the anchor has evolved. The 1902 Ship’s Anchor patent art reflects the refinement and artistry of this functional device and is a foundational piece in any collection.
The 1902 Ship’s Anchor was invented by Frances Kenney of Providence, Rhode Island, and patented on April 8, 1902. The anchor is meticulously etched into high-quality Birch, recreating the drawings of the inventor in exquisite detail. This patent art makes the perfect addition to a home office, game room, or nautical living space.
