Why are the shackles of port side anchor and starboard side anchor unequal in length?
In eighteenth and nineteenth century sailing ships, the bower anchors themselves were sometimes of different design and weight. I think it was customary in the northern latitudes to drop the starboard anchor first as the wind is more likely to veer than to back and if two anchors were deployed then less likely to foul each other. At present I am studying anchors as an aid to shipwreck identification, the whole subject is fascinating and not well known.

How do you tell how many shackles of anchor chain are in the water?
To determine how many shackles of anchor chain are in the water, you first need to measure the length of the chain that is deployed. One shackle is typically 15 fathoms (or 90 feet). By dividing the total length of the chain in the water by 90 feet, you can calculate the number of shackles. For example, if 180 feet of chain is in the water, there are two shackles deployed.
How long is an anchor shackle?
An anchor shackle's length can vary widely depending on its type and size, but commonly used sizes range from about 3 inches to over 12 inches in length. The specific length is often determined by the application and the size of the anchor chain or rope it is designed to connect. Shackles are available in various configurations, including D-shackles and bow shackles, each with different dimensions suited for particular uses. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for precise measurements.
How many shackles in anchor chain?
The number of shackles in an anchor chain can vary depending on the size of the vessel and its operational requirements. Typically, a standard shackle in an anchor chain measures about 15 fathoms (90 feet or 27.4 meters).

It’s important for vessels to have adequate chain length to maintain stability and safety while at anchor.
