Robinson reported his findings to the Naval Base Civic Council, which operates the museum. But both items were practically buried in the lush undergrowth, and the only way to drag them out was with a portable crane. Under the guidance of Rafael Nunez, Mayor of the council, Friday was set aside for the sweaty task of retrieving the antiques. With the use of a crane, the anchor was pulled from the edge of a mangrove swamp near the ruins of the Navy coaling station.
