Star of India Anchor and Weighing

[@Zippsterman]

If nothing else, a good ol' "Heave!" "Heave!" "Heave!" really sets the mood

[@scv909]

This is awesome, aint no way you were leaving in a hurry if the anchors not up!

[@endelosecosplay1302]

Thank you for putting these up!! Our 3yr old is pirate obsess but also loves to know how things work. So he already watched this and the rigging one 2x and he asking to watch them again. If youtube counts reviews as additional view I forsee your 4 star of India videos getting a ton of views soon.

Dangerous work, for sure. Im sure there have been some crushed hands, fingers yanked out of socket s....and other various injuries/ deaths. But God bless these guys. Hard workers 💪

[@gormauslander]

That anchor drop is terrifying

[@laserbeam002]

Today we have automatic systems to do most if not all of this. Thank god for electricity and computers.

[@patricksmart5673]

Thanks for that. I volunteer on the Cutty Sark. I can now do my job as an explainer better.

From another video in this series, "Star of India sailed with a crew of two dozen or less." This video: "Eight capstan bars, two to a bar. It takes 16 crew to weigh the anchor." So in service, most if not all the crew would be required for this one operation?

What's the second shanty they are singing?

[@Nickyvonboss]

you guys pronounce tackle wrong... TACKle not TAKEll

[@Skidderoperator]

My thought too.

[@lukeportelli2097]

Does any one know the shanty at 6:23?

[@Joe_Tringle]

"Handy, Me Boys," sometimes called "Handy, Me Boys, So Handy." I've never heard a version quite like the one here, though.

[@lukeportelli2097]

@@Joe_Tringle thank you 😊

[@finnplanb3]

no one to flake the chain in the locker?

[@benstarr5270]

No need with chain that large, couldn’t do it anyhow. Modern merchant ships chain lockers rarely are opened for personnel.

[@R09W10]

What is the weight of this anchor? Is this reel when picking up the anchor manual or hydraulic?
