Abstract
Use of a light-hauling-up line in connection with a disengaging chain or wire (pendant wire) which is attached to the head of a large anchor placed on the bottom of the sea. The hauling-up line extends from the disengaging wire which lies on the bottom of the sea, up to the surface where it is fastened to a buoy. The hauling-up is intended to draw up the disengaging wire to a craft which will raise the anchor.
