That's a super fancy boat anchor on the aft deck :!:
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

Not exactly maritime, but have spent a lot of time over the last 25 yrs paddling around in canoes and kayaks, especially flatwater marathon and long distance events.
Further to comment re La Balsa. Was in Ballina in 1975 and the raft(s) were still on the beach.

I LOVE this piece of our history....
We spent many days at Quobba Station on the WA coast last year (this is where the Kormoran survivors came ashore). There is a story that one of the German sailors buried some film footage of the engagement in the hills (pic below), needless to say, it has never been found.
Red Bluff (Quobba Station)
I understand that the Commonwealth Government has pitched into having a search undertaken for the wrecks of both the Kormoran and the Sydney. It is to be carried out by David Mearns who discovered the HMS Hood (from the Bismark fame) off the Iceland coast.
