1858 H. W. Harkness U.S. Patent 21,298 1/1 I..have invented certain new and useful improvements in Anchor-Balls... The nature of this improvement consists in constructing..a ball with flukes and having a line attached to a staple in one end in such a manner, that as it is placed into the muzzle of gun the flukes will be compressed into the grooves—flush with the outer surface of the ball, and be thrown from a wreck and afford means of escape to persons on board.

1874 E. H. Knight Amer. Mech. Dict. I. 96/2 Anchor-ball, a contrivance of Captain Manby, R. N., for saving life in cases of shipwreck. It is a ball having several hinged prongs.., which are intended to catch in the rigging of a stranded vessel.

2. Nautical. A black ball or ball-like object displayed during daylight on a ship (in the rigging or other prominent position) to indicate that the ship is anchored (cf. anchor light n. at anchor n.¹ Compounds 2).

1942 Lloyd's List Law Rep. 28 Aug. 126/1 They let go their anchor; they put up their anchor ball to indicate what they were doing.
