Moorings, английский
- Indicated by buoys to which ships are fastened; they are attached by bridles to heavy anchors and cables laid down in the most convenient parts of rivers and harbours. they are termed “swinging,” or “all fours,” depending on whether the ship is secured by the bow only, or by bow and stern. by their means many more ships are secured in a certain space than would be possible if they used their own anchors.
- A vessel is said to be “at moorings” when she is anchored or attached to a mooring buoy in the harbor, rather than moored alongside a jetty. moorings may be forward and aft, or at bow only (termed swinging). see also offshore mooring. 207 moorings
Moor along, to, английский
To anchor in a river with a hawser on shore to steady her.
