What if the ship don't have a anchor?
when you dock a ship you use a rope to tie the ship so it stays put, but out at sea you cant tie anywhere so that's why the ancor was invented, amagine waking up at gilligans island Many large ships use swivel-direction propellers to remain in one place. A ship can also be moored to a dock which requires no anchor. An anchor is used if there is no dock, the water is shallow enough for the anchor's chain to touch bottom, and there is something for the anchor to grab on the bottom.

How many shackles in feet?
1 shackle = 15 fathoms = 90 feet A unit of length used for anchor chain on ships. Anchor chains for ships are made up of 15-fathom lengths of chain joined by detachable links. The joins are distinctively marked so a ship's officer can estimate at a glance how much chain is out. In the merchant marine, the detachable links are painted red. At 15 fathoms, the end of the first shot, the two links on either side of the detachable link are painted white, and 1 turn of wire is wound around the stud of the link on either side of the detachable link. At 30 fathoms, the 2 links on either side of the detachable link are painted white, and 2 turns of wire are put on the second stud on either side of detachable link, and so on for the remaining shots. In the merchant marine, in the command to let go the anchor the amount to be played out is given in shots; in the Navy it is given in fathoms.1

Technically there is no exact number if I'm getting your question right. A "rode" is a generic term normally applied to the anchor line on a ship and refers to the amount of chain rope or cable that the boat carrys. In common useage on board a ship you might hear a person say something like "we carry 200 fathoms of wire and 80 feet of chain on our anchor rode".
