Ship anchor at Mahukona

[tarponchik]

Hi everyone,
I accidentally found this anchor off Mahukona, but I could not find related information. It is not featured in this video, for example (pardon me, the video is kinda cheesy), and it is too far from the SS Kauai wreck. Does anyone know where this anchor came from? It is in just 12 ft of water. It has a good piece of chain attached, with roughly the same link size as the Kauai chains are. Does anyone here know anything?

Mahukona use to be a big shipping port. They even loaded boats with cattle by wire. Theres a bunch of wreck relics scattered around out there. There is a history museum in Hawi that has some pics and info about the area. There are HUGE anchors further out standing upright. I used a dpv to get to them. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Thanks! Still, this is a big anchor, maybe 8 ft long. There should be some history in this.

Here's that monster a bit further out.
