Scuttlebutt
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- 1. a barrel with a hole in used to hold water that sailors would drink from. by extension (in modern naval usage), a shipboard drinking fountain or water cooler.
- [1] formerly an open-topped cask for drinking water, now a water fountain. in order to prevent seamen from becoming dehydrated, shipmasters would often order a butt or cask to be lashed somewhere on deck with its lid scuttled so that a ladle could be used to scoop out drinking water. [2] a visit to the scuttled butt was a good opportunity for sailors to exchange gossip, rumors, or chatter, and these activities soon took on the slang name of the water cask itself.
