Trivia: The name of the horse, "Anchors Ahoy," is meaningless and silly. The term, "anchor's aweigh," is short for "the anchor is aweigh," meaning the anchor has been pulled free of the bottom. However, "ahoy" is a hailing call, used to attract the attention of another vessel or, perhaps, a person, and requires an answer. (It's kind of like saying, "Hey, you!") Since anchors are inanimate objects, they can neither hear nor respond to the call.
