Shoe of the anchor
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
A flat block of hard wood, convex on the back, and having a hole sufficiently large to contain the bill of the anchor-fluke on the fore-side; used to prevent the anchor from tearing the planks on the ship`s bow when fishing it, for which purpose the shoe slides up and down along the bow. where vessels ease the anchor down to “a cock-bill,” it is also sometimes used.—to shoe or clamp an anchor. to cover the palms with broad triangular pieces of thick plank, secured by iron hoops and nails. its use is to give the anchor a greater resisting surface when the mud is very soft. also, for transporting on shore.
