Nautical Terms and Phrases - Their Meaning and Origin
Fouled anchor
The fouled (rope- or chain-entwined) anchor so
prevalent in our Navy's designs and insignia is a symbol at least 500 years old
that has its origins in the British traditions adopted by our naval service.
The fouled anchor was adopted as the official seal of Lord High Admiral Charles
Lord Howard of Effingham during the late 1500s.
A variation of the seal had been in use by the Lord High Admiral of Scotland
about a century earlier.
The anchor (both with and without the entwined rope) is a traditional heraldic
device used in ancient British coats of arms.
As a heraldic device, it is a stylized representation used merely for its
decorative effect.
