LOS ANGELES (AP) - A century-old anchor has been pulled up from the ocean floor off Santa Monica Pier in an area that was once a major shipping port.
The anchor was pulled up Tuesday with the help of a tractor, three weeks after it was spotted during a training dive by a Los Angeles County Fire Department rescue boat captain.
It was found two miles up the coast from the pier around the former site of the Long Wharf, a shipping center that served Southern California on Santa Monica Bay from 1892 to 1919.
The anchor is resting in a garden outside the lifeguard station on Ocean Front Walk in Santa Monica.
