Our new South Australian Anchor Trail is a combination of the Anchors in South Australia Google map and our Port Adelaide Anchor Trail.
Some of the anchors on the Anchors in South Australia Google map are to be found underwater, but the majority of them are readily available to view on dry land. Although those anchors underwater can only be viewed by divers and snorkellers, the majority of the anchors on the South Australian Anchor Trail can be viewed by the general public without getting too wet.
The Anchors in South Australia Google map currently features more than 80 sites covering more than 100 anchors. There are photos of most anchors, and (approximate only) coordinates for most locations. Details are being updated whenever possible. Zoom in to separate anchors near each other. Click on each marker/pin to see anchor photos, details and approximate coordinates.
All aspects of this anchor trail will be updated as changes become necessary as anchors come & go, as they tend to do.

Glenelg North Trotman’s Anchor
(According to the inscription on the plaque accompanying the anchor, “The Trotman’s type anchor, a modification of the traditional admiralty anchor, utilised a pivot point on the shank to ensure a low profile of the uppermost fluke thus reducing the possibility of damage to the ship’s hull at low tide or fouling of the anchor chain. Anchors of this type were used on latter day sailing ships towards the end of the 19th century. The restoration of this anchor was a City of Glenelg Bicentenary Project funded by the Commonwealth Government in recognition of the maritime history of Glenelg.”)
