Nagasaki ANCHOR was sinking in the bottom of Nagasaki-bay.
This anchor was sinking in Nagasaki Port to fix the mooring buoy which joined by a big ship in the Taisho era. Many ships were moored to this anchor, one of which was the great "Ten-yo maru" that was constructed in 1908 in Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard. This anchor finished its duty with the change of the Nagasaki port, and it was retired afterwards. However, the anchor revived as a pedestal of the lighthouses, as the memory of "Marine Day" establishment on July 20, 1996.
When you return the cache container, please be careful it is placed precisely just at the same position.
この錨は、大正時代に大型船をつなぐ係船ブイを固定するために、長崎港内に投入されていたものです。明治41年(1908年)、当時の三菱合資会社三菱造船所で建造され、太平洋航路に就航していた我国空前の豪華客船「天洋丸」の他、多数の船舶がこの錨に係船されました。
その後、この錨は港の移り変わりに伴って役目を終え、陸揚げされていました。しかしその錨は、平成8年7月20日「海の日」祝日制定記念として、再び灯台の台座としてよみがえりました。
キャッシュコンテナを戻す際は、正確に同じ位置に設置されるよう注意して下さい。
