Atlantic Rancher Anchor Tote Bag

$210.00

Ah Haulin’ We Go!

We built this monster of a “tote” bag with anchors in mind. Anchors are heavy, they are clumsy to handle, and they are as hazardous to toes as they are to top-sides of boats. And some will actually use it in this way and appreciate the heavy, 36oz cotton duck canvas that makes this a reliable and durable piece of gear. You’ll note the bottom is dipped in rubber making it waterproof, resistant to slippage on a wet deck and won’t scratch the bright work. But most I know will never be used for this intended purpose…they’ll never haul heavy gear, much less an anchor, and we won’t be offended. They’ll serve proudly as a “tote” …a moniker that took quite a bit of arm-twisting to make its way into this monologue. This crafty bit of carrying ingenuity is steeped in maritime history, when coal used to power steam engines on merchant ships was transferred from dock to deck in humongous coal bags made from this same material. Smaller bags, like our Anchor Bag, were later developed for home use, to haul coal from the basement to the furnace.

You can depend on our Anchor Bag hold up to all the abuse you can throw at it…swing it confidently full of gear from the truck to the dock and onto the boat. And just in case you're traveling is less demanding environments, we covered the handles in suede to spruce it up a bit. And spiffy you'll be with it hanging from your shoulder as you skip-a-dee-doo-dah your way ‘round town.

Story

Excerpt from our original 1995 catalog:

"The Ram Island Salt Farm, just south of Portland, Maine on Cape Elizabeth, sits on the east side of the tiny inlet at the top end of Higgin's Beach. Among other things, they make hay here, May through October. From the brow of the hill, the fields drop in a deliberate free-fall right down
to the Atlantic. No beach there. Just rock and salt spray make the transition.

In the barns above, Phineas Sprague, Jr. still restores wooden lobster boats. Every winter, for as long as anyone can recall, his father Phineas Sr., has rowed out past the point in his Barnegat Bay Sneakbox to gun for eiders. God willing, this year won't be any different."

The Search for Your Perfect Tote Has Ended

This bag is everything. Comfortable handles, roomy, and sturdy as they come. Perfect for groceries, hauling books or supplies, and would make a fantastic housewarming gift (filled with flowers or table linens?) - I love this bag!
