More About anchor
Anchors have been used for a long time. They help boats stay safe on the water. Many boats use them when they stop. The anchor is very strong and heavy.
We see anchors on big ships and small boats. They help boats not drift away. When the wind blows, the anchor holds tight. This keeps the boat where it should be.
In the future, anchors may change. They might be made of new materials. But they will still help boats stay safe. Anchors will always be important for boats!
