Normally, the Bow, the head end ( to borrow the railroad term) of a ship., There were some German warships that had an after anchor station, presumably when riding out storms between assignments. this was quite rare. The German ships had both a forward rudder ( normal position) and the after one at the stern, when (Tied down) storm condition, both were used.

What part of the boat should you anchor from?

You should anchor from the bow of the boat, as this helps maintain the boat's stability and allows it to swing freely with the wind and current. Anchoring from the stern can cause the boat to pivot awkwardly and may lead to swamping or capsizing. Additionally, anchoring from the bow keeps the anchor line clear of the boat's movement and minimizes the risk of entanglements with the propeller.
