Hammock, английский
- Taino
- Canvas sheets, slung from the deckhead in messdecks, in which seamen slept. "lash up and stow" a piped command to tie up hammocks and stow them (typically) in racks inboard of the ship`s side to protect crew from splinters from shot and provide a ready means of preventing flooding caused by damage.
- A swinging sea-bed, the undisputed invention of alcibiades; but the modern name is derived from the caribs. (see hamacs.) at present the hammock consists of a piece of canvas, 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, gathered together at the two ends by means of clews, formed by a grommet and knittles, whence the head-clue and foot-clue : the hammock is hung horizontally under the deck, and forms a receptacle for the bed on which the seamen sleep. there are usually allowed from 14 to 20 inches between hammock and hammock in a ship of war. in preparing for action, the hammocks, together with their contents, are all firmly corded, taken upon deck, and fixed in various nettings, so as to form a barricade against musket-balls. (see engagement.)
- This old-fashioned swinging sailor’s bed made of canvas and slung from hooks on the overhead/deckhead is said to have been introduced to the athenian fleet by alcibiades in the fifth century bce; but the name is more recent, dating to 1493 when christopher columbus reported that natives of san salvador slept in beds which they called hamaca and suspended from trees. these beds were introduced into the royal navy about 1600, and shortly afterward it became customary to place rolled hammocks on the bulwarks for extra protection during combat. until well into the 19th century, they were made from the heavy brown canvas of damaged sails (as were sailors’ trousers). later, the standard rn issue could also be lashed-up to form a life preserver that reputedly could keep someone afloat for up to 24 hours. u.s. navy enlisted men including petty officers slept in hammocks, each of which was provided with a mattress and two blankets.
