In a general aspect, an anchor includes a tubular body that is formed at least in part of cementitious material and has open and closed ends. The anchor also includes a pad eye coupled to the tubular body and configured to couple to a mooring line. The tubular body includes a base wall, a perimeter wall, and a shear key. The base wall defines the closed end of the tubular body and has first and second surfaces on opposite sides of the base wall. The perimeter wall extends from the first surface of the base wall to the open end of the tubular body, and the shear key extends from the second surface of the base wall. The shear key is configured to penetrate an underwater floor and resist a lateral displacement of the anchor along the underwater floor when penetrated therein.
