An anchor system connected to a floating or submerged structure has a chain or cable 3 connecting an anchor 1 engaged in a hole 5, drilled into the seabed, to the floating or submerged structure. The tension in the chain or cable is borne by the chain or cable being embedded in the seabed 8 adjacent the wall of the hole. A method of anchoring a floating or submerged structure using the anchor system is also disclosed. The anchor may be grouted in place or may be held in position by flukes extending from the anchor into the hole wall. The anchor may be combined with a drill bit and the hole may be drilled such that it is inclined to the vertical.
