I have a strong conviction that the anchor means hope. (Now, what hope means, that's a different matter . . .)
When I was a kid, there was jewelry making the rounds that had cross, anchor, and heart charms, for the theological virtues/1 Corinthians 13 verses, faith, hope, and love.
Then there is the Game of Hope, the goal of which was to land on the next to the last card, anchor, instead of the last card, cross. (Is this the origin of the cross having a negative meaning?)
And now, here's the seal of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. (I saw it on a letter we received at work today.) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seal_of_the_Governor_of_Rhode_Island.svg
So does the anchor basically mean hope to you? Why or why not?
