Bear, to, английский
The direction of an object from the viewer; it is used in the following different phrases: the land`s end bore e.n.e.; i.e. it was seen from the ship in a line with the e.n.e. point of the compass. we bore down upon the enemy; i.e. having the advantage of the wind, or being to windward, we approached the enemy by sailing large, or from the wind. when a ship that was to windward comes under another ship`s stern, and so gives her the wind, she is said to bear under the lee; often as a mark of respect. she bears in with the land, is said of a ship when she runs towards the shore. we bore off the land; i.e. we increased our distance from the land.—to bear down upon a ship, is to approach her from the windward.—to bear ordnance, to carry her guns well.—to bear sail, stiff under canvas.—to bear up, to put the helm up, and keep a vessel off her course, letting her recede from the wind and move to leeward; this is synonymous with to bear away, but is applied to the ship instead of the helm.—bear up, one who has duly served for a commission, but from want of interest bears up broken-hearted and accepts an inferior warrant, or quits the profession, seeking some less important vocation; some middies have borne up and yet become bishops, lord-chancellors, judges, surgeons, &c.—to bear up round, is to put a ship right before the wind.—to bring a cannon to bear, signifies that it now lies right with the mark.—to bear off from, and in with the land, signifies standing off or going towards the coast.
Beams, английский
Strong transverse pieces of timber stretching across the ship from one side to the other, to support the decks and retain the sides at their proper distance, with which they are firmly connected by means of strong knees, and sometimes of standards. they are sustained at each end by thick stringers on the ship`s side, called shelf-pieces, upon which they rest. the main-beam is next abaft the main-mast, which is stepped between two beams with transverse supports termed partners; the foremost of these is generally termed the main-beam, or the after-beam of the main-hatchway. the greatest beam of all is called the midship-beam.
