Galley, английский
- The kitchen area of a boat.
- Гранки, корректурный оттиск
- 1. galley, the kitchen of a ship.
- Вельбот, гичка, камбуз
- Камбуз
- A low, flat-built vessel with one deck, and propelled by sails and oars, particularly in the mediterranean. the largest sort, called galleasses, were formerly employed by the venetians. they were about 160 feet long above, and 130 by the keel, 30 wide, and 20 length of stern-post. they were furnished with three masts and thirty banks of oars, each bank containing two oars, and every oar managed by half-a-dozen slaves, chained to them. there are also half-galleys and quarter-galleys, but found by experience to be of little utility except in fine weather. they generally hug the shore, only sometimes venturing out to sea for a summer cruise. also, an open boat rowing six or eight oars, and used on the river thames by custom-house officers, and formerly by press-gangs; hence the names “custom-house galley,” “press-galley,” &c. also, a clincher-built fast rowing-boat, rather larger than a gig, appropriated in a man-of-war for the use of the captain. the galley or gally is also the name of the ship`s hearth or kitchen, being the place where the grates are put up and the victuals cooked. in small merchantmen it is called the caboose; and is generally abaft the forecastle or fore-part of the ship.
- [1] a ship’s kitchen, probably a corruption of “cooking gallery.” [2] a relatively long and narrow sail and oar-propelled, single-decked commercial or combat vessel, which originated in the aegean and mediterranean during the classical era. sails and masts were normally unshipped and left ashore before combat. early fighting galleys depended on short bursts of speed to ram enemy vessels with sharp “beaks.” later ones carried heavy forward-firing cannon mounted on a platform at the bow. [3] a large clinker-built open rowing boat, usually with a crew of twelve.
- Гранки; корректурный оттиск
- The kitchen area on a boat.

Yarn, английский
- Нить (пряжа)
- One of the threads of which ropes are composed. a number of these are twisted together to form a strand, in proportion to the size of the proposed rope. three strands are then twisted into one another, which completes the process of ordinary rope-making; but cables, hawsers, and other ground tackling, are composed of three strands, each of which is formed of three lesser ones. (see cable, hawser, &c.)—a tough yarn. a long story, or tale, hard to be believed.
- [1] fibers loosely twisted into strands for making rope. [2] a tall tale or embellished seafaring story. this originated in sailing ship days when old rope used to be separated into its yarns and then rewoven into new rope. seamen assigned to this long and boring task would wile away the time by telling each other tales, which they called “spinning a yarn” or just plain “yarning.”
- A generic term for a continuous strand of textile fibers, filaments, or material in a form suitable for knitting, weaving, braiding, or otherwise intertwining to form a textile fabric.
- A fibrous material like wool, twisted into a loose thread and added to greases for special applications.

Scuttlebutt, английский
- 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.
