# The Sailor’s Word-Book {style="title" subtitle="An alphabetical digest of nautical terms, including some more especially military and scientific, but useful to seamen" byline="Admiral W. H. Smyth · London, 1867"}

**Note.** Admiral William Henry Smyth died on 8 September 1865 and left this word-book in manuscript. Sir Edward Belcher, a vice-admiral, revised it for the press, and Blackie and Son published it in London in 1867. This selection prints entries from the letters A, B and C in Smyth’s wording, some of them shortened, among them words now in everyday English: A1, *taken aback*, *aloof*, the *bitter end*, a wide *berth*, *clear the decks*, *cut and run*. Cross-references follow *see*; the entries they name are not in this selection.

# A {style="A"}

:::paragraphs{style="entry"}
**A.** The highest class of the excellence of merchant ships on Lloyd’s books, subdivided into A1 and A2, after which they descend by the vowels: A1 being the very best of the first class. Formerly a river-built (Thames) ship took the first rate for 12 years, a Bristol one for 11, and those of the northern ports 10. Some of the out-port built ships keep their rating 6 to 8 years, and inferior ones only 4. But improvements in ship-building, and the large introduction of iron, are now claiming longer life.

**Aback.** The situation of a ship’s sails when the wind bears against their front surfaces. They are *laid aback*, when this is purposely effected to deaden her way by rounding in the weather-braces; and *taken aback*, when brought to by an unexpected change of wind, or by inattention in the helmsman. – *All aback forward*, the notice given from the forecastle, when the head-sails are pressed aback by a sudden change in the wind. (*See* Work aback.) – *Taken aback*, a colloquialism for being suddenly surprised or found out.

**Abeam.** In a line at right angles to the vessel’s length; opposite the centre of a ship’s side.

**About.** Circularly; the situation of a ship after she has gone round, and trimmed sails on the opposite tack. – *Ready about!* and *About-ship!* are orders to the ship’s company to prepare for tacking by being at their stations.

**Adrift.** Floating at random; the state of a boat or vessel broken from her moorings, and driven to and fro without control by the winds and waves. Cast loose; cut adrift.

**Afloat.** Borne up and supported by the water; buoyed clear of the ground; also used for being on board ship.

**Ahead.** A term especially referable to any object farther onward, or immediately before the ship, or in the course steered, and therefore opposed to *astern*. – *Ahead of the reckoning*, is sailing beyond the estimated position of the ship. – *Ahead* is also used for progress; as, *cannot get ahead*, and is generally applied to forward, in advance.

**A-hull.** A ship under bare poles and her helm a-lee, driving from wind and sea, stern foremost. Also a ship deserted, and exposed to the tempestuous winds.

**A-lee.** The contrary of *a-weather*: the position of the helm when its tiller is borne over to the lee-side of the ship, in order to go about or put her head to windward. – *Hard a-lee!* or *luff a-lee!* is said to the steersman to put the helm down. – *Helm’s a-lee!* the word of command given on putting the helm down, and causing the head-sails to shake in the wind.

**Aloof.** The old word for “keep your luff,” in the act of sailing to the wind. (*See* Luff.) – *Keep aloof*, at a distance.

**Anchor.** A large and heavy instrument in use from the earliest times for holding and retaining ships, which it executes with admirable force. With few exceptions it consists of a long iron shank, having at one end a ring, to which the cable is attached, and the other branching out into two arms, with flukes or palms at their bill or extremity. A stock of timber or iron is fixed at right angles to the arms, and serves to guide the flukes perpendicularly to the surface of the ground. According to their various form and size, anchors obtain the epithets of the *sheet*, *best bower*, *small bower*, *spare*, *stream*, *kedge*, and *grapling* (which see under their respective heads).

**Apple-pie order.** A strange but not uncommon term for a ship in excellent condition and well looked to. Neat and orderly. Absurdly said to be a corruption of *du pol au pied*.

**Ashore.** Aground, on land. – To *go ashore*, to disembark from a boat. Opposed to *aboard*.

**Astern.** Any distance behind a vessel; in the after-part of the ship; in the direction of the stern, and therefore the opposite of *ahead*. – *To drop astern*, is to be left behind – when abaft a right angle to the keel at the main-mast, she drops astern.

**Athwart.** The transverse direction; anything extending or across the line of a ship’s course. – *Athwart hawse*, a vessel, boat, or floating lumber accidentally drifted across the stem of a ship, the transverse position of the drift being understood. – *Athwart the fore-foot*, just before the stem; ships fire a shot in this direction to arrest a stranger, and make her bring-to. – *Athwart ships*, in the direction of the beam; from side to side: in opposition to *fore-and-aft*.

**Avast.** The order to stop, hold, cease, or stay, in any operation: its derivation from the Italian *basta* is more plausible than *have fast*.

**Awning.** A cover or canvas canopy suspended by a crow-foot and spread over a ship, boat, or other vessel, to protect the decks and crew from the sun and weather. (*See* Euphroe.) Also that part of the poop-deck which is continued forward beyond the bulk-head of the cabin.

**Azure.** The deep blue colour of the sky, when perfectly cloudless.

# B {style="B"}

:::paragraphs{style="entry"}
**Ballast.** As a verb, signifies to steady; as a substantive, a comprehensive mind. A man is said to “lose his ballast” when his judgment fails him, or he becomes top-heavy from conceit.

**Beam-ends.** A ship is said to be on her beam-ends when she has heeled over so much on one side that her beams approach to a vertical position; hence also a person lying down is metaphorically said to be on his beam-ends.

**Berth.** The station in which a ship rides at anchor, either alone, or in a fleet; as, she lies in a good berth, *i.e.* in good anchoring ground, well sheltered from the wind and sea, and at a proper distance from the shore and other vessels. – *Snug berth*, a place, situation, or establishment. A sleeping berth. – *To berth a vessel*, is to fix upon, and put her into the place she is to occupy. – *To berth a ship’s company*, to allot to each man the space in which his hammock is to be hung, giving the customary 14 inches in width. – *To give a berth*, to keep clear of, as to give a point of land a wide berth, is to keep at a due distance from it.

**Bitter-end.** That part of the cable which is abaft the bitts, and therefore within board when the ship rides at anchor. They say, “Bend to the bitter-end” when they would have that end bent to the anchor, and when a chain or rope is paid out to the bitter-end, no more remains to be let go. The bitter-end is the clinching end – sometimes that end is bent to the anchor, because it has never been used, and is more trustworthy. The first 40 fathoms of a cable of 115 fathoms is generally worn out when the inner end is comparatively new.

**Booby.** A well-known tropical sea-bird, *Sula fusca*, of the family *Pelecanidae*. It is fond of resting out of the water at night, even preferring an unstable perch on the yard of a ship. The name is derived from the way in which it allows itself to be caught immediately after settling. The direction in which they fly as evening comes on often shows where land may be found.

**Brace of shakes.** A moment: taken from the flapping of a sail. I will be with you before it shakes thrice.

**Bring up with a round turn.** Suddenly arresting a running rope by taking a round turn round a bollard, bitt-head, or cleat. Said of doing a thing effectually though abruptly. It is used to bring one up to his senses by a severe rating.

**Broach-to, to.** To fly up into the wind. It generally happens when a ship is carrying a press of canvas with the wind on the quarter, and a good deal of after-sail set. The masts are endangered by the course being so altered, as to bring it more in opposition to, and thereby increasing the pressure of the wind. In extreme cases the sails are caught flat aback, when the masts would be likely to give way, or the ship might go down stern foremost.

**Broadside.** The whole array, or the simultaneous discharge of the artillery on one side of a ship of war above and below. It also implies the whole of that side of a ship above the water which is situate between the bow and quarter, and is in a position nearly perpendicular to the horizon. Also, a name given to the old folio sheets whereon ballads and proclamations were printed of old (broad-sheet).

**By the board.** Over the ship’s side. When a mast is carried away near the deck it is said to go by the board.

# C {style="C"}

:::paragraphs{style="entry"}
**Cabin.** A room or compartment partitioned off in a ship, where the officers and passengers reside. In a man-of-war, the principal cabin, in which the captain or admiral lives, is the upper after-part of the vessel.

**Cabin-boy.** A boy whose duty is to attend and serve the officers and passengers in the cabin.

**Cable’s length.** A measure of about 100 fathoms, by which the distances of ships in a fleet are frequently estimated. This term is frequently misunderstood. In all marine charts a cable is deemed 607.56 feet, or one-tenth of a sea mile. In rope-making the cable varies from 100 to 115 fathoms; cablet, 120 fathoms; hawser-laid, 130 fathoms, as determined by the admiralty in 1830.

**Caboose.** The cook-room or kitchen of merchantmen on deck; a diminutive substitute for the galley of a man-of-war. It is generally furnished with cast-iron apparatus for cooking.

**Careen, to.** A ship is said to careen when she inclines to one side, or lies over when sailing on a wind; off her keel or carina.

**Cat o’ nine tails.** An instrument of punishment used on board ships in the navy; it is commonly of nine pieces of line or cord, about half a yard long, fixed upon a piece of thick rope for a handle, and having three knots on each, at small intervals, nearest one end; with this the seamen who transgress are flogged upon the bare back.

**Caulk, to.** (*See* Caulking.) To lie down on deck and sleep, with clothes on.

**Chart.** A hydrographical map, or a projection of some part of the earth’s superficies *in plano*, for the use of navigators, further distinguished as plane-charts, Mercator’s charts, globular charts, and the bottle or current chart, to aid in the investigation of surface currents (all which see). A selenographic chart represents the moon, especially as seen by the aid of photography and Mr. De la Rue’s arrangement.

**Cheer, to.** To salute a ship *en passant*, by the people all coming on deck and huzzahing three times; it also implies to encourage or animate. (*See also* Hearty and Man ship!)

**Chock-a-block, or chock and block.** Is the same with *block-a-block* and *two-blocks* (which see). When the lower block of a tackle is run close up to the upper one, so that you can hoist no higher, the blocks being together.

**Clear, to.** Has several significations, particularly to escape from, to unload, to empty, to prepare, &c., as: – *To clear for action.* To prepare for action. – *To clear away* for this or that, is to get obstructions out of the way. – *To clear the decks.* To remove lumber, put things in their places, and coil down the ropes. Also, to take the things off a table after a meal. – *To clear goods.* To pay the custom-house dues and duties. – *To clear the land.* To escape from the land. – *To clear a lighter, or the hold.* To empty either.

**Coil.** A certain quantity of rope laid up in ring fashion. The manner in which all ropes are disposed of on board ship for convenience of stowage. They are laid up round, one fake over another, or by concentric turns, termed *Flemish coil*, forming but one tier, and lying flat on the deck, the end being in the middle of it, as a snake or worm coils itself.

**Convoy.** A fleet of merchant ships similarly bound, protected by an armed force. Also, the ship or ships appointed to conduct and defend them on their passage. Also, a guard of troops to escort a supply of stores to a detached force.

**Cross-trees.** Certain timbers supported by the cheeks and trestle-trees at the upper ends of the lower and top masts, athwart which they are laid to sustain the frame of the tops on the one, and to extend the top-gallant shrouds on the other.

**Cuddy.** A sort of cabin or cook-room, generally in the fore-part, but sometimes near the stern of lighters and barges of burden. In the oceanic traders it is a cabin abaft, under the round-house or poop-deck, for the commander and his passengers. Also, the little cabin of a boat.

**Cut and run, to.** To cut the cable for an escape. Also, to move off quickly; to quit occupation; to be gone.
