Good idea.

If the banks of the canal are high enough.

On Sunday, the high tide is a Spring tide I think. Almost 2 ft higher than the other day.

Run gangplanks up the side and put up signs saying free stuff ' all you can carry . The locals will clean it out in a day .

drop the anchor onto a small barge and take it to the other side and pull the anchor up on dry land. use the windlass to pull bow of ship back into canal.

use both anchors in this manner if necessary. yeah, you would mess up the bow but so what.

i don't know how long the chain is. I read the links are 500 lbs each.

be careful not to capsize the whole ship though.

I think the chain links would bind on the edge of the opening in the ship. The anchor rode would need to come off at a 45 degree angle or something like that.

Sailboats do this all the time, called kedging, but I think they take a rope anchor rode straight to the windlass or winch and it either spools straight off the winch or there is a roller fairlead.

I think a large ship is just designed to handle a limited chain angle. I could be wrong though.
