ILLUSTRATED GLOSSARY OF SHIP AND BOAT TERMS\n\nThis glossary is intended to define the terminology usedin this text,as well as that which researchers might berequired to apply or interpret in their studies of ship-wrecks and archives.It is limited to construction termi-nology.The reader is advised to consult one of thedictionaries listed in the bibliography for shiphandling,maneuvering,and general nautical terms.The same ad-vice applies to specialized rigging terminology and de-tails,although the text addresses or illustrates many ofthe most common rigs.  \nWords set in bold type are defined elsewhere in theglossary.Entries have been illustrated wherever possible,either within the glossary or in the text.Alternate termsor spellings are listed in brackets after the entry.Alter-nate definitions for a single entry are commonplace;thisis the result of diffusion,varying localities,and techno-logical progress.However,the reader is cautioned thatmany of the timbers and devices listed here might havehad additional identifications,often the invention of thewriter or in local slang;some difficulty may be experi-enced in identifying such entries in various documents.The confusion extends to modern publications.Onemarine dictionary shows the knee of the head as being lo-cated behind the gripe,while most of the others call thistimber an apron and properly place the knee of the headjust below the bowsprit.I have tried to sort out this con-fusion where possible.  \nAncient ships contained structural arrangements thathad disappeared by the medieval period,and thereforethey remain unlisted in publications.A few of them havebeen assigned terms in archaeological publications;therest I hope I have anticipated and defined accurately.  \nOne more word of caution.Many of the illustrations inthe glossary are composite drawings,in some cases includ-ing features of several vessels or vessel types in the samedrawing.Unless otherwise stated,these illustrations arenot intended to represent construction details of specificwatercraft.  \nAdze [Adz](Fig.G-8).An axe-like tool with its blade atright angles to the handle,used for shaping and dress-ing wood.  \nAmidships.The middle of a vessel,either longitudinallyor transversely.  \nAnchor(Figs.G-1 and G-2).A wooden,stone,or metaldevice that,when connected to a vessel with a cableor chain,was used to secure the vessel to the bed ofa waterway to prevent it from drifting.  \nAnchor bed.A reinforcement or platform,fitted onthe side or deck of a vessel,on which an anchoror stack of anchors was stowed.  \nBest bower.One of the principal anchors of a ship,normally the one used first;in the last severalcenturies,it was usually the second largest an-chor and was carried on the starboard bow.Bill.The tip of the anchor's palm;also called a pea,peak,or pick  \nBower.One of the principal anchors of a vessel,per-manently attached to a cable or chain and stowedready for immediate use.  \nCrown.That portion of an anchor where its armsjoined the shank.  \nFluke.The pointed or chisel-shaped end of an an-chor arm,which was designed to dig into thebottom.  \nGrapnel(Fig.G-2h).A relatively small anchor,usu-ally fitted with four or five arms,used variouslyfor making fast to other vessels,snagging cables,or anchoring small boats.  \nKedge.A light anchor used for moving a vessel ortemporarily holding it in a waterway.Palm.The triangular flat face of an anchor's fluke.Shank.The shaft of an anchor.  \nSheet anchor.The heaviest anchor of a large vessel,shipped in a ready position to be used for anyemergency.In the later years of large sailing ships,this was the third bower and was usually carried  \nin the starboard bow next to the best bower.It wasalso called the sacred anchor.  \nShoe.A convex block of wood into which an anchorbill could be fitted to prevent damage to theship's side when the anchor was hoisted.  \nStock.A wooden,stone,or metal crosspiece near thetop of and perpendicular to the shank;it was de-signed to cant one of the arms so that its","cbCaipvjr0J5zTUw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipvjr0J5zTUw","pdf",25827245,"English","# Adze\n# Amidships\n# Anchor\n#
