The anchor, as I mentioned last week, is often interpreted as a Christian symbol of hope, and so it often accompanies the statues we see atop magnificent monuments looking heavenward for salvation and comfort. The Haines family’s statue is holding an anchor – it’s a little hard to see from this angle, but look for the bottom of it protruding at the front right hand side of the monument.
A very detailed anchor rests at the side of the statue atop the Hubby-Doubleday monument.
The Smith family has a towering white monument, with this beautiful statue thrust toward the skies.
