1. Anchor of the Frank O'Connor Marker
This anchor was removed from the wreck site of the Frank O'Connor. The anchor is from a barge used during salvage operations in the 1920s and 1930s. Since the anchor was not actually off the sunken ship, it was placed on display here. Because it came from a protected shipwreck site, the perpetrator was prosecuted.
Erected by Door County Maritime Museum.
