| Summary: | This paper describes the design of stock-anchors during the Age of Exploration (from the 15th into the 17th centuries AD), which is the primary design employed by European ships. Statistical analysis of published global finds is synthesised in conjunction with contemporary dating textual details. This study demonstrates that, while the iron-frame and wooden stock designs are comparable superficially, there are recognisable diachronic and geographical variations and features. Following a Classical Mediterranean foundation, its secondary roots can be isolated particularly to 1st millennium AD Northern Europe. |
