Nineteen Fathom Foul
Text of the plaque: "Lost by some unknown sailing ship forced to heave to off the Otago Heads. This anchor was for many generations a menace to fishermen. Known as the "Nineteen Fathom Foul" because of its location. It was the cause of one drowning in 1966 when a local boat "Robert H" capsized and foundered after fouling its trawl. Innumerable boats have lost their gear through being hooked on the anchor and, when finally hauled ashore by the "Dorade" in 1978, it was festooned with nets."
