[FIN] Pyhän Katariinan kirkon hautausmaalla on vanha merimiehen hauta, jossa on kiven päällä valurautainen ankkuri. Axel Andersson on henkilön nimi.
Ankkurin pituus on noin metrin verran. Siinä on pätkä kettinkiä mukana. Ilmeisesti ankkuri on tehty vain tätä hautamerkkiä varten.

The length of the anchor is about a meter. It has a piece of chain with it. Apparently the anchor was made just for this grave marker.
