Anchorage; anchor money
A cash fee paid by a foreign ship for permission to moor in a port. In contrast to port money, which was paid for the use of port installations, anchorage money was seen as a kind of entrance fee for entering a foreign country. The anchor money therefore regularly went to the state treasury (chamber), not to the port authority. – Collective term for English colonial coins made of silver, named after the reverse image, namely a crowned anchor under the British crown. – See clearance money, anchor money, ford money, harbor money, quay money, wharf money, cap money, crane money, burden money, lighthouse money, demurrage, pilot money, cap money, pound money, pratica money, lock money.
