The Cemetery of Anchors ((ポルトガル語:Cemitério das Âncoras)) 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. ==History== Historical reference indicate that wintering by boats in the shelter of Angra were dangerous, owing to the fury of storms.〔GRA (2005), p.5996〕 Many ships were buffeted and lost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.〔 A great number of these shipwrecks have not yet been encountered, and today only 13 archaeological sites within Bay of Angra have been discovered. Two of them were in an excellent state for exploration, geotourism and provided geocultural characteristics of great museulogical significance.〔 Consequently, the regional government, following an exhaustive study and surveying in the site of ''Lidador'' (a steamship bound for Brazil but which sunk in 1878) and the ''Cemitério das Âncoras'', which became known as the old anchorage for the Port of Angra, established a ''subaquatic parque''.〔 This ''Parque Arqueológico Subaquático da Baía de Angra'' (''Archeological Subaquatic Park of the Bay of Angra'') was established on 12 October 2005 to preserve and promote the histo-cultural significance of the Bay to life in Angra do Heroísmo.〔
