Iron Anchor

A solid iron anchor used to park your vessel.

Notes

The Iron Anchor is a heavy, solid component used for securing a player’s vessel, crafted from iron at a suitable station. It serves as a required ingredient in the recipes for the Industrial Barge and the Medium Fishing Trawler, so stocking a few anchors ahead of time can speed up shipbuilding.
