Acknowledgment of an exhibit of interest received during the past year through Mr. H. R. Jenkins is contained in the annual report of the Auckland Institute and Museum. It is the historic anchor intimately associated with the ill-fated H.M.S. Bounty. This
relic is believed to have been abandoned by Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers in 1789 when they used it as a kedge to free the vessel from a coral shoal in the Papaea Arm of Matavia Bay, Tahiti. The anchor was recovered about 1890.
