Inside the boat's perimeter, the anchor rests on a rectangular tapered base, and is stabilized by eight cables, four on each side, that stretch from the rims of the sculpture to the perpendicular wood cross on the top of the anchor. At the opposite end of the boat, the globe is encased in metal bars representing longitude and latitude. The globe rests on a tapered rectangular base. The entire monument is set on a rise with its "nose" four feet below ground level.
