Breeching
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
- A strong rope passing through at the cascable of a gun, used to secure it to the ship`s side, and prevent it recoiling too much in time of battle, also to secure it when the ship labours; it is fixed by reeving it through a thimble stropped upon the cascable or knob at the breech of the gun; one end is rove and clinched, and the other is passed through the ring-bolt in the ship`s side, and seized back. the breeching is of sufficient length to let the muzzle of the cannon come within the ship`s side to be charged, or to be housed and lashed. clinch-shackles have superseded the ring-bolts, so that guns may be instantly unshackled and shifted.
- Дымоход. канал, соединяющий печь с дымовой трубой.
