Casks, английский
These barrel-like containers were widely used in the days of wooden ships, and developed a terminology of their own. the curved pieces of wood forming the sides of a cask are called staves, and their ends projecting above the head are called chines. the stopper closing the hole in its side is the bung, and its rounded belly is the bilge. the rack on which they are stored is the gantry, designed to hold them “bung up and bilge free” (with the stopper on top to avoid leakage and the belly clear of the deck). in the royal navy the chines were color-coded, with rum casks painted red, lime juice casks green, and vinegar casks white.

Shag harbour incident, английский
This airborne and underwater mystery is well-documented. on the night of 4th october 1967 the skies over eastern canada seemed unusually busy. early in the evening the pilot and co-pilot of air canada flight 305 filed official reports of several unidentified flying objects sighted over the canadian province of quebec. a little later, from near shelburne in nova scotia, insurance salesman grandy irwin and 12-year-old darrel dorey independently called police to report strange lights in the sky. then, at about 8:30 p.m. the 18-man crew of mv nickerson—a dragger fishing off sambro island near halifax—made a similar sighting and claimed to have used their radar to track four aerial objects for about two hours. at about 11 p.m., half an hour after nickerson stopped tracking, several residents of shag harbour— a tiny fishing village at the western tip of the nova scotia peninsula, opposite portland, maine—spotted strange orange lights in the sky. according to five teenage witnesses there were four of them, flashing in sequence. royal canadian mounted police (rcmp) constable ron pound, driving toward shag harbour on the coast road, also saw four lights which seemed attached to an airborne object about sixty feet (18 me- serving 284 ters) long with unusual flight characteristics. suddenly, the lights changed shape and dived steeply into the water, striking about 900 meters (1000 yards) offshore with a loud roar and a bright flash, and then seeming to float. convinced they had seen an airplane ditching, constable pound and several witnesses telephoned the nearest rcmp detachment, which dispatched corporal victor werbieki and constable ron o’brien to join constable pound. all three police officers and a number of local residents reported seeing at least one orange light moving slowly on the water, leaving yellowish foam in its wake. canadian coast guard cutter 101 and a number of fishing boats rushed to the scene only to find the light gone. however, an area of about 37 by 60 meters (120 ? 300 feet) above the apparent point of submergence was densely covered by glowing yellow foam with a foul sulfurous smell. none of the local fishermen could recall ever having seen anything even vaguely like it. meanwhile, the police had contacted halifax rescue coordination centre (hrcc), which had no reports of missing civilian or military aircraft, and it advised canadian armed forces headquarters that a flying object “of unknown origin” had hit the water just outside shag harbor. the military classified it as a ufo incident (which, as previously mentioned, does not imply alien origins). the hrcc report was forwarded to canadian armed forces maritime command which ordered minesweeper hmcs granby to investigate. however, extensive underwater search by seven naval divers found nothing. (up to this point the story is well-documented, much of it in canada’s national archives. in contrast, the following is mostly anecdotal, much of it from officers and officials demanding anonymity to protect their jobs and pensions, and avoid public ridicule.) the submerged craft is said to have been joined by another, apparently for underwater repairs or rescue, both being watched by granby and other canadian naval vessels for about a week. then the small flotilla was diverted to challenge a soviet submarine which had violated canadian territorial waters in an apparent attempt to communicate with the submerged craft. shortly afterward both underwater vehicles began moving into the gulf of maine, where they surfaced and became airborne. on that day, 11th october 1967, numerous independent witnesses reported strange flying objects in the sky over western nova scotia. no explanation has ever been given, but forty years later, at the end of april 2007, the shag harbor incident society opened a temporary museum dedicated to recording the event while eyewitnesses are still available. fundraising for a permanent structure is ongoing.
