As I recall, during the first part of the story, GOBLIN anchored twice - the second time less successfully - AR needed a story.
There are very robust, very basic - often two speed - mechanical winches. I would think GOBLIN must have had one of these.
Now, we know that Jim Brading was very strong - Susan certainly noticed - but pulling up chain is a struggle.
The Mighty MARGOLETTA has 400 feet of 5/16" HT chain, and a 65# anchor, I hope the winch keeps on working....
