		In 1722 Anson was raised to the rank of Commander and 18 months later he was promoted to Captain and took command of the Scarborough (frigate).
		Anson managed to take several prize ships but had insufficient crew left to man them safely and so had to burn some.
		Anson over-reached the galleon, and lay on her bow, where by the great wideness of his ports he could traverse almost all his guns upon the enemy, whilst the galleon could only bring part of hers to bear.

	Palmer Johnson’s “Anson Bell” - Megayacht Feature
		In a stroke of luck, her masts were stretched toward the land, so many of the crew—but, sadly, not her captain—were able to follow them to safety.
		Due to the loss of the Anson, as well as the frustration of the townspeople, many changes were made in ship construction, crew safety, and rescue techniques.
		In fact, he was so inspired by the advances in safe shipbuilding and the bell itself that he assembled a team to execute a carefully spelled-out mission: design and construct the safest motoryacht ever built, and one built on American soil that would rival the work of the top European yards.
