Why do ships anchor chains have one longer than the other?
A ship is held in position by the weight of the chain laying on the bottom. The anchor is used to grab on the bottom when laying anchor. After the anchor is down, several lengths of chain is paid out. The weight of the chain is what holds the ship. The circumstances determine how much chain is needed and which type of anchor to use.
