Full description
McElvogue, D., 2004, Appendix 2: Wrought Iron Hook. In, Evidence for High Status at Sea: The Church Rocks Wreck, 105, 117-118 (Article in Serial). SDV322591.
Wrought iron hook with an eye and ring found in association with the Church Rocks wreck. The hook is relatively large, 0.34m long by 0.15m wide. The ring has a diameter of 0.18m. The tip of the hook is bent outwards. It is this latter feature together with its size that enables the hook to be identified as a fish hook, part of the equipment used to sling the end of the raised anchor back against the side of the ship.
