Priming tube
| Морской словарь |
A short, narrow, metal pipe with a bell mouth. the pipe was filled with quick match, while the cup held a paste of mealed gunpowder, gum, and water. a little dry powder was sprinkled on top and sealed with a paper cover. the tube was inserted into the vent of a cannon, holed with a pricker, and ignited by slow-match or portfire to explode the charge. the tubes were originally made of tin or copper, but hot expended tubes with sharp edges lying on the deck were a hazard to sailors with bare feet, so goose quills of the same size and shape were substituted. the tube was too short to make contact with the cartridge but, when ignited the quick match exploded instan- preamble 248 taneously, producing a powerful spurt of flame which easily penetrated the cartridge bag. see gun firing.

Prison hulks, английский
Ships too worn-out to use in combat, but still afloat, were a common form of internment in britain and elsewhere during the 18th and 19th centuries. in great expectations, dickens describes “a black hulk lying out a little way from the shore, cribbed and barred, and moored by massive rusty chains.” such ships were used to detain prisoners-of-war during the american revolutionary and napoleonic wars. private companies owned and operated convict hulks and the harbor location of these floating prisons was also convenient for the temporary accommodation of persons awaiting penal transportation. the conversion of a famous fighting ship into a prison hulk is described by david cordingly in his book billy ruffian (bloomsbury, 2003): the crew stripped her of everything that had made her a warship the guns were removed and the stores of the bosun, the cook, the carpenter, the gunner, and the sailmaker were taken out. the rigging was dismantled, and the masts and bowsprit lifted out by the sheer hulk. out too came the barrels of food and water, the coal for the galley, and several tons of shingle ballast. the last job of the crew was to scrub the hammocks and wash down the decks.... the pay captain from the dockyard came aboard and paid the sailors of the ship’s company. the marines had already been discharged.... the ship’s log-book ... concluded with the words “sunset, haul down the (commissioning) pendant.” then shipwrights and carpenters from the dockyard removed her gunport covers, fitted bars in the openings, ripped out her internal bulkheads, and installed long lines of cages below deck. a variation of the prison hulk was the juvenile detention vessel.
