Foul anchor, английский
An anchor is said to be foul, or fouled, either when it hooks some impediment under water, or when the ship, by the wind shifting, entangles her slack cable a turn round the stock, or round the upper fluke thereof. the last, from its being avoidable by a sharp look-out, is termed the seaman`s disgrace.
Fothering, английский
Is usually practised to stop a leak at sea. a heavy sail, as the sprit-sail, is closely thrummed with yarn and oakum, and drawn under the bottom: the pressure of the water drives the thrumming into the apertures. if one does not succeed others are added, using all the sails rather than lose the ship.
