A weight to secure a ship (6)

I believe the answer is:

anchor

(Other definitions for anchor that I've seen before include "Device for keeping ship in place" , "I present" , "Stabilise" , "Weight attached to sea bed" , "Ship's fluke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
