Model of a chain messenger
This model represents the mid-section of a ship’s deck and demonstrates how an anchor was raised. The anchor is attached to a heavy cable, which is too thick to turn around a drum. It is therefore secured to a messenger cable, a long, endless rope that can be wound around a capstan to haul in the anchor cable.
