These large mooring anchors used to be made by Seaboard Marine, but they were apparently taken over by Gael Force - more info re these anchors here at http://www.gaelforcemarine.co.uk/Anchors-Mooring/Anchors/SM12-Samson/
These used to (still do?) form the basis of all the moorings for the RNLI lifeboats.

On the coastal path past Largs Y/H there is a display of 15 or so different anchor types with signs giving descriptions and usage. Despite the picture on the plaque the 8ft high lump of iron is indeed a Bruce

Just had a look at GF's Bosun anchor---looks quite impressive.
