Title:Appendix 2: Wrought Iron Hook. In, Evidence for High Status at Sea: The Church Rocks Wreck
Originator:McElvogue, D.
Date:2004
Summary: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.
