Lowering a concentrated, heavy weight down the anchor line – rope or chain – directly in front of the bow to the seabed, behaves like a heavy chain rode and lowers the angle of pull on the anchor.

In the bow and stern technique, an anchor is set off each the bow and the stern, which can severely limit a vessel's swing range and also align it to steady wind, current or wave conditions.

One method of accomplishing this moor is to set a bow anchor normally, then drop back to the limit of the bow cable ( or to double the desired scope, e. g. 8: 1 if the eventual scope should be 4: 1, 10: 1 if the eventual scope should be 5: 1, etc.

By taking up on the bow cable the stern anchor can be set.

Nelson ordered the fleet to slow down at 16: 00 to allow his ships to rig " springs " on their anchor cables, a system of attaching the bow anchor that increased stability and allowed his ships to swing their broadsides to face an enemy while stationary.

Captain Antoine René Thévenard used the spring on his anchor cable to angle his broadside into a raking position across the bow of Nelson's flagship, which consequently suffered over 100 casualties, including the admiral.

The shape is chosen to strike a balance between cost, hydrostatic considerations ( accommodation, load carrying and stability ), hydrodynamics ( speed, power requirements, and motion and behavior in a seaway ) and special considerations for the ship's role, such as the rounded bow of an icebreaker or the flat bottom of a landing craft.

He designed Hermes ' winged helmet and sandals, the Aegis breastplate, Aphrodite's famed girdle, Agamemnon's staff of office, Achilles ' armor, Heracles ' bronze clappers, Helios ' chariot ( and one for himself, to be used on account of his lameness ), the shoulder of Pelops, and Eros ' bow and arrows.
