See Ankerið af Brúarfossi (Brúarfoss Anchor), Keflavík, Iceland

The anchor is from the Brúarfoss, which Eimskipafélag Íslands had built in Denmark in 1927 and owned for 30 years. During one of the voyages west, one of the anchor's sails broke off in the bluestone in Aðalvík. Karvel Ögmundsson, a shipowner in Njarðvík, later bought the anchor and used it as a berth in Njarðvík, for the boat Vögga GK 204. Karvel then had the anchor taken ashore and in recent years it has lain at the marina in Keflavík or until it was placed on the landfill. It was installed at the opening of the Grímur Karlsson Boat Museum in Duus Museums in 2002.
