I'm trying to understand the difference between mooring and anchoring. I know they both involve securing a vessel, but I'm not sure how they differ. Can someone explain the distinction between the two?

An anchorage, on the other hand, is a designated area for anchoring a vessel.

In such locations, vessels use their anchors to stay in place.
