this question was in my mind for years… if the anchor keeps the huge ship from drifting, how do you get free when you want to sail away ?

Big ships usually anchor in designated anchorages that are known to have a soft bottom that is clear of obstructions; rocks, reefs, cables, etc. The boundaries are clearly marked on nautical charts. For major ports, that’s usually the only place they can anchor except in an emergency.
