- Lloyds Register Chronology of Anchor Chain
-
1808: Wrought iron cables were first recorded as having been made by Robert Flinn, a blacksmith, and used for the ship ANN & ISABELLA.
1813: Iron cables were recorded with other particulars of the ship.
1834: Lloyd's Register Rules stated the length of cable to be supplied, but did not mention sizes or tests. These Rules gave a reduced length for iron cables as compared with hempen cables in the ratio 6/7.
1846: Rules specified that cable must have been tested and have the test load stamped on them. The Surveyors were to see the certificates.
1853: The certificates of test of chain cables were required to be produced prior to classification.
1856: The Rules stated that the length and condition of chain cables were to be ascertained by removal from the locker at each special survey.
