Stoppering

Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык)
    The act of checking or holding fast any rope or cable by means of a stopper.




Stop the vent, to, английский
    To close it hermetically by pressing the thumb to it.


Stopper of the cable, английский
    Commonly called a deck-stopper. a piece of rope having a large knot at one end, and hooked or lashed to a ring-bolt in the deck by the other; it is attached to the cable by a laniard, which is passed securely round both, by several turns passed behind the knot, or round the neck of the stopper, by which means the cable is restrained from running out of the ship when she rides, and is an additional security to the bitted cable.—dog-stopper. a strong rope clenched round the main-mast, and used on particular occasions to relieve and assist the preceding when the ship rides in a heavy sea, or otherwise veering with a strain on the cable.— wing-stoppers. similar pieces of rope clenched round one of the beams near the ship`s side, and serving the same purpose as the preceding.—rigging-stoppers have a knot and a laniard at each end; they are used when the shrouds, stays, or backstays are stranded in action, or in a gale; they are then lashed above and below, in the same manner as those of the cables, to the wounded parts of the shroud, &c., which are thereby strengthened, so as to be fit for service. other rigging-stoppers have dead-eyes and tails, so that by securing one dead-eye above and the other below the injury, they can be set up by their laniard, and brought to an even strain with the other shrouds. stoppers are also pieces of rope used to prevent the running-rigging from coming up whilst being belayed. sometimes they have a knot at one end, and a hook at the other, for various purposes about the decks.
