Camels
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- Loaded vessels lashed tightly, one on each side of another vessel, and then emptied to provide additional buoyancy that reduces the draught of the ship in the middle.
- All large ships are built, at st. petersburg, in a dockyard off the granite quay, where the water is shallow; therefore a number of camels or caissons are kept at cronstadt, for the purpose of carrying them down the river. camels are hollow cases of wood, constructed in two halves, so as to embrace the keel, and lay hold of the hull of a ship on both sides. they are first filled with water and sunk, in order to be fixed on. the water is then pumped out, when the vessel gradually rises, and the process is continued until the ship is enabled to pass over the shoal. similar camels were used at rotterdam about 1690.

Before the mast, английский
- Literally, the area of a ship before the foremast (the forecastle). most often used to refer to men whose living quarters are located here, officers being quartered in the stern-most areas of the ship (near the quarterdeck). officer-trainees lived between the two ends of the ship and become known as "midshipmen". crew members who started out as seamen, then became midshipmen, and later, officers, were said to have gone from "one end of the ship to the other" (see also hawsepiper.)
