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.
