Mona’s Queen was one of eight vessels that took part in the historic rescue of the British Expeditionary Force bringing nearly 25,000 troops home to safety.
Three of the eight ships were lost to enemy action, Mona’s Queen among them.
The initiative to raise the anchor was spearheaded by the late Captain Andrew Douglas and taken up after his untimely death by Captain Hamish Ross of Sea Breezes magazine.
The restored anchor will now take pride of place at Kallow Point.
