This week I've been sent photos of a scale model of John Barton's anchor
Strictly speaking it's Claude Martin's anchor but John Barton made & patented changes which improved it and was able to live off the royalties. John Barton was Helen Barton's husband and it would have been this income that later allowed her to finance her work.
Very exciting for me to have the photos and to know that there's still a model in the family.

I'll be adding a little feature on John Barton later.
