To say that something is historic means that it is important or significant in history. An anchor or cannon which have nothing special about them and are not commemorating something of historical significance are just artwork. Yes, there will be overlaps. There are always overlaps when we try to categorize the real world. Nevertheless, there's a big difference between an anchor somebody bought at a scrapyard so he could display it and the anchor that belonged to the famous ship whatever, sunk in the battle of whatever. The difference can usually be determined from an accompanying plaque or sign. If there is something about the provenance of the object, or it says what the object commemorates, it's probably historic. -- Paul
