The Cemetery of Anchors is a subaquatic archaeological site, situated within the Bay of Angra, in the civil parish of Sé, municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the Portuguese island of Terceira, in the Azores.
Historical reference indicate that wintering by boats in the shelter of Angra were dangerous, owing to the fury of storms. Many ships were buffeted and lost their anchors by the violent swells that buffeted the "shelter" of the provincial capital, if they were not sunk outright. Approximately 74 shipwrecks or sinkings occurred in the Bay of Angra between 1522 and 1996.
