Glossary of Nautical Terms - as used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries

Aft: at or towards the stern or after part of a ship, the opposite of bow.

Aloft: overhead, or above.

Athwart: across.

Bank: a rising ground in the sea, differing from a shoal, because not rocky but composed of sand, mud or gravel.

Becalmed: to halt through lack of wind.

Bow: the foremost end or part of a ship, the opposite of stern.

Bowsprit: a large mast or piece of timber which stands out from the bow of a ship.

Burthen: the older term used to express a ship's tonnage or carrying capacity. It was based on the number of tuns of wine that a ship could carry in her holds, the total number giving her burthen.

Chase, to: to pursue a vessel in wartime with the aim of capturing, acquiring information from her, or destroying.

Colours: the name by which the national flag flown by a ship at sea is known, used to determine nationality.

Dead reckoning: a system of navigation where the position of a ship is calculated without the use of any astronomical observation whatever.

Fair wind: a wind favourable to the direction a ship is sailing.

Fathom: a measure of six feet, used to divide the lead (or sounding) lines in measuring the depth of water; and to calculate in the length of cables, rigging, etc.

Fore: the forward part.

Hail, to: to call to another ship.

Helm: the instrument by which the ship is steered, and includes both the wheel and the tiller, as one general term.

Jib: a triangular sail set by sailing ships on the boom which runs out from the bowsprit.

Jury-mast: a temporary makeshift mast erected to replace a mast that has been disabled or carried away.

Jury-rudder: a makeshift arrangement to give a ship the ability to to steer when she has lost her rudder.

Keel: the lowest and principal timber of a wooden ship - the single strongest member of the ship's frame.

Knot: the nautical measure of speed, one knot being a speed of one nautical mile (6,080 feet) per hour. As a measure of speed the term is always knots, and never knots an hour.

Landfall: the discovery of the land.

Land-locked: sheltered all round by the land, so that there is no view of the sea.

Lead: an instrument for discovering the depth of water, attached to a lead-line, which is marked at certain distances to measure the fathoms.

Lee: the side of a ship, promontory, or other object away from the wind; that side sheltered from the wind. It is the opposite side to windward.

Lee shore: a coastline on to which the wind blows directly - consequently it can be dangerous as the wind tends to force the sailing ship down on it.

Leeward: with the wind; towards the point to which the wind blows.

Letter of Marque: a commission issued in Britain by the Lord High Admiral or Commissioners of the Admiralty authorizing the commander of a privately owned ship to cruise in search of enemy merchant vessels. The letter of marque described the ship, her owners and officers, the amount of surety which had been deposited and stressed the necessity of having all prize vessels or goods seized condemned and valued at a Vice Admiralty Court for the payment of 'prize money'.

Lie-to: to prevent a vessel from making progress through the water - achieved by reducing sail in a gale. The objective is to keep the vessel in such a position, with the wind on the bow, as to ensure that heavy seas do not break aboard.

The Line (or 'Crossing the Line') Sailing across the Equator. Nautical tradition where seamen celebrate the crossing of the equator by dressing up and acting out a visit by King Neptune. Those who have not previously crossed the line are summoned to the court of Neptune for trial, followed by a ritual ducking (in a bathing tub of seawater) and sometimes lathered and roughly shaved.

Mainsail: the principal sail of a sailing vessel.

Mizzen (or mizen): the name for the third, aftermost, mast of a square-rigged sailing ship or of a three-masted schooner.

Muster: to assemble the crew of a ship on deck and call through the list of names to establish who is present and accounted for.

Muster-book: the book kept on board a vessel in which was entered the names of all men serving in the ship, with the dates of their entry and final discharge from the crew. It was the basis on which victuals were issued and payment made for services performed on board.

Pintle: a vertical metal pin attached to the leading edge of the rudder; it is fitted into the metal ring or 'gudgeon' bolted to the sternpost of a vessel. This provides the means for hinging the rudder on the sternpost and allows a rudder to be swung or turned as desired (by use of the tiller); where necessary (ie. when the rudder needs to be removed or repaired) the pintles can be unshipped quickly and the rudder detached.

Port: the left-hand side of a vessel as seen from the stern; also a harbour or haven.

Privateer: a privately owned vessel armed with guns which operated in time of war against the trading vessels of an enemy nation. Each privateer was given a a 'letter of marque' which was regarded as a commission to seize any enemy shipping as a 'prize'. The name 'privateer' has come to refer to both the ship and the men who sailed in her.

Prize: name used to describe an enemy vessel captured at sea by a ship of war or a privateer; also used to describe a contraband cargo taken from a merchant ship. A 'prize court' would then determine the validity of capture of ships and goods and authorize their disposal. 'Prize' in British naval history always acted as considerable incentive to recruitment with many men tempted to join the navy in anticipation of quick riches.

Prize Court: Captured ships were to be brought before prize courts where it was decided whether the vessel was legal prize; if so, the whole value was divided among the owners and the crew of the ship.

Prize Money: the net proceeds of the sale of enemy shipping and property captured at sea - these proceeds were distributed to the captors on a sliding scale from highest rank to lowest seaman.

Road or Roadstead: a stretch of sheltered water near land where ships may ride at anchor in all but very heavy weather; often rendered as 'roads', and does not refer to the streets of a particular port city but rather its anchorage, as in 'St Helens Roads', the designated anchorage for shipping located between St. Helens (Isle of Wight) and Portsmouth, or 'Funchal Roads' at the island of Madeira. (see Elizabeth Macquarie's 1809 Journal).

Quarter: (1)the direction from which the wind was blowing, particularly if it looked like remaining there for some time; (2)the two after parts of the ship - strictly speaking a ship's port or starbord quarter was a bearing 45° from the stern.

Ship: from the Old English scip, the generic name for sea-going vessels (as opposed to boats). Originally ships were personified as masculine but by the sixteenth century almost universally expressed as as feminine.

Shoal: a bank or reef, an area of shallow water dangerous to navigation. Sounding: the of operation of determioning the depth of the sea, and the quality of the ground, by means of a lead and line, sunk from the ship to the bottom, where some of the sediment or sand adheres to the tallow in the hollow base of the lead.

Sound: (1) to try the depth of the water; (2) a deep bay.

Sounding: ascertaining the depth of the sea by means of a lead and line, sunk from a ship to the bottom.

Soundings: those parts of the ocean not far from the shore where the depth is about 80 to 100 fathoms.

Spar: a general term for any wooden support used in the rigging of a ship - includes all masts, yards, booms, gaffs etc.

Squall: a sudden gust of wind of considerable strength.

Starboard: the right-hand side of a vessel as seen from the stern.

Stern: after-part of a ship or boat.

Tack: the nautical manouevre of bringing a sailing vessel on to another bearing by bringing the wind round the bow; during this manouevre the vessel is said to be 'coming about'.

Tide of Flood: the flow of the tidal stream as it rises from the ending of the period of slack water at low tide to the start of the period of slack water at high tide; its period is approximately six hours.

Trade Winds: steady regular winds that blow in a belt approximately 30 N. and 30 S of the equator. In the North Atlantic the trades blow consistently all year round, from the north-east; in the South Atlantic they blow from the south-east, converging just north of the equator. The meeting of the trade winds just north of the equator created the infamous 'doldrums', where sailing ships could be becalmed for days or weeks waiting for a wind to carry them back into the trades.They were known as trade winds because of their regularity, thereby assisting sailing vessels in reaching their markets to carry out trade.

Under way: the description of a ship as soon as she begins to move under canvas power after her anchor has been raised from the bottom; also written as 'under weigh.'

Voyage: a journey by sea. It usually includes the outward and homeward trips, which are called passages.

Watch: (1) one of the seven divisions of the nautical day; (2) one of two divisions of the seamen forming the ship's company.

Wear: the nautical manouevre of bringing a sailing vessel on to another tack by bringing the wind around the stern.

Weather: in a nautical sense (rather than a meteorological) this is the phrase used by seamen to describe anything that lies to windward. Consequently, a coastline that lies to windward of a ship is a weather shore; the side of a ship that faces the wind when it is under way is said to be the weather side a ship, etc.

Weigh: to haul up.

Weigh anchor: the raising of the anchor so that the ship is no longer secured to the sea or river bottom.

Windward: the weather side, or that direction from which the wind blows. It is the opposite side to leeward.

Yard: (1) a large wooden spar crossing the masts of a sailing ship horizontally or diagonally, from which a sail is set. (2) a shortened form of the word 'dockyard, in which vessels are built or repaired.

I know you didn't ask, and you're not obligated to listen to me, but I'd like to share a few friendly words 🤗

I'd advise you to not share your age on the web. You didn't put the exact number, but you put enough information for us to know you're really young. Malicious ppl could take advantage of that, and even pretend they're not an adult so they could get closer to you 😞 Basic internet safety says to not share any personal info.

It's okay to share your hobbies and tastes if you wanna meet like-minded ppl, but beware of info that could be used against you. Encouraging flirty asks isn't safe, too... be careful, okay?

Being reserved is always the best choice. Even if your blog is small.

Hello, so actually i don't know how did you come to think that i am really young but i am not.

I never told my age or even gave a single hint the only thing people know is that i am a minor.

And i am not a naïve little girl, i have boundaries, and i dont share my personal infos so i think that you are in the wrong blog.

"Flirting asks!" I specially put boundaries on that, flirting is fine as long as you are a minor and dont take it too far, and nsfw asks are not acceptable here in my blog.

Sooooo i dont know why are you telling me that i share personal infos when i dont.

Lev 'Oz' and his last name

I've seen some confusion regarding Oz's last name and people using two different ones. I believe his last name was originally going to be Osman but that the show changed it during production. Lev's last name on the show is Ozdil as per the official ABC and ABC Press website.

It is listed incorrectly on IMDb.

A Doodle Comm

Want a doodle commission like this one? 🐿️🤍

[kommandonuovidiavoli]

Maybe I should've said it sooner, but the Nightmare War will approach a more serious, shonen-ish style of narration.

So there will be VERY FEW humour that resembles the show.

Enemies are scary monsters, not goofy people.

Lives are at stake.

Fears are real.

In short, it will diverge from the show's more kid-friendly style for a more mature narration and topics.

Hope you'll appreciate it.

(Really, I imagined it first like a manga series so... yeah)

[sapphicnaturalrights]

As sapphicnatural week 2024 comes to an end, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who participated 🫶

We've seen so many amazing pieces of fanart, heartwrenching fics, a gorgeous moodboard renaissance, new ships to (over)think about, an unexpected and welcome focus on Cassie, and so much support through reblogs and tags for all of it!!

We had a blast picking prompts and seeing the dash flooded with women, but YOU made the event successful 💖 So thank you for a wonderful week, whether you created or reblogged!

We'll still be checking mentions and tags if anyone is running late and wants to share something - there is still time! Otherwise, the #sapphicnatural tag & the sapphicnatural ao3 collection are there all year long 👀

and so in the immortal words of charlie bradbury: bye bitches!

CRÉATURES JOUABLES

Bestiaux qui rôdent, se tapissent derrière les masques. Peut-être serez-vous l'un d'entre eux ? Ferez-vous partie des hostiles ou des protecteurs inoffensifs ? Vous ne trouverez ici qu'un aperçu, chaque créature fera l'objet d'une annexe plus détaillée sur le forum, cette liste est non exhaustive et pourrait être amenée à évoluer et grandir au fil du jeu. (tw : meurtres, sang, violence, consommation de sang ou de chair, manipulation) ¨:·. .·:¨ ¨:·. ☾ .·:¨ ¨:·. .·:¨ ¨:·. .·:¨ ¨:·. ☾ .·:¨ ¨:·. .·:¨

BANSHEES

Hostilité envers l'humain * Hostilité envers les autres espèces * Rareté **** Activité : principalement de nuit Regroupement : solitaires

Entités fantomatiques hurlant mélopées funèbres, elles sont les individus qui ont un jour été frappés accidentellement par la faucheuse, alors que cela ne faisait guère partie de leur destin, revenant ainsi à la vie après une expérience de mort imminente. Ces êtres en ont conservé un lien particulièrement fort avec l’au-delà. Simili sorciers protecteurs de clans humains ancestraux, les Banshees perçoivent la mort, la sentent venir. ---------------------------

DRYADES

Hostilité envers l'humain * Hostilité envers les autres espèces * Rareté ** Activité : jour et nuit Regroupement : solitaires ou cercles de trois à dix Dryades

Nymphes des forêts et des landes. Êtres de nature aussi curieux que doux, les Dryades sont pourtant en déclin constant depuis l’aube de l’urbanisation qui dévore chaque jour un peu plus leur habitat naturel. Leurs épidermes se fardent de fleurs et autres feuillages, faisant de ces êtres de véritables écosystèmes vivaces qui ne sont guère de chair et de sang.

---------------------------

HARPIES

Hostilité envers l'humain **** Hostilité envers les autres espèces *** Rareté ** Activité : jour et nuit Regroupement : nids de trois à douze Harpies

Rapaces avisés à la réputation belliqueuse. Mi-oiseau, mi-humanoïde, leurs ailes puissantes se déploient afin de traquer les proies qu’elles saisissent de leurs serres affutées qui semblent pouvoir tout transpercer. Jadis nommées Sirènes, Érinyes voire Sirin Bird, l’évolution leur a donné une seconde apparence, celle d'humanoïdes dissimulant la bête. L’instinct de chasse et le goût sanglant les borde, avides de violence et d’observer la souffrance dont elles se délectent.

---------------------------

LYCANTHROPES

Hostilité envers l'humain **** Hostilité envers les autres espèces **** Rareté *** Activité : les nuits de pleine lune Regroupement : solitaires et meutes de deux à vingt Lycans

Malédiction des pupilles de la lune. L’âcre venin d’une monstruosité les a frappés une nuit, gangrenant leurs chairs jusqu’à la lune ronde suivante. Bêtes aux instincts bestiaux qui prédominent sous les effets de l’astre, ils perdent toute conscience de leurs actes lors de leurs transformations en monstruosités mi-hommes mi-loups. Leurs sens demeurent cependant constamment affutés.

---------------------------

SIRÈNES

Hostilité envers l'humain **** Hostilité envers les autres espèces *** Rareté * Activité : jour et nuit Regroupement : clans de deux à trente sirènes

Aussi surnommées Merrows, Ondines ou Vampires des eaux, elles errent dans l'onde à la recherche d'âmes pour en aspirer la jouvence et ainsi dé-sécher leurs proies sans vergogne. Créatures vicieuses et manipulatrices, elles ont évoluées avec le monde, arpentant en partie les terres afin de mieux saisir leurs proies, qu'elles capturent via de leur charisme. Omniprésentes, il se murmure qu'elles sont plus nombreuses sous l'écume qu'il y a d'êtres humains sur terre.

---------------------------

STRYGES

Hostilité envers l'humain ** Hostilité envers les autres espèces ** Rareté *** Activité : la nuit Regroupement : solitaires ou nid de deux à vingt Stryges

Goules dévoreuses de macchabées. Gargouilles trônant dans les cimetières et reluquant du haut des églises. Elles se figent une fois l'aube levée en malédiction terrible qui les tourmente. Fardeau qui leur donne un aspect monstrueux aux antipodes des êtres humains qu'elles ont un jour été. La nuit les libère, ôte leurs traits de statue. Peu hostiles, elles se font gardiennes, veillent sur l'humanité.

--------------------------- VAMPIRES

Hostilité envers l'humain **** Hostilité envers les autres espèces ** Rareté *** Activité : la nuit Regroupement : solitaires et clans de deux à douze Vampires

Maîtres des nuits brumeuses. Créatures non mortes et non vivantes arpentant les terres sans jamais trouver repos éternel. La faucheuse est omnisciente dans leurs sillages, en ombre qu'ils laissent en relâchant leurs proies. Buveurs de sang, ils glanent l'ichor encore chaud aux gargues de leurs proies. Rigueur cadavérique qui fascine pourtant l'humain depuis toujours.

Présentation

Bienvenue dans mon univers ! 🏡 Installe-toi confortablement, je t’emmène faire un petit tour de ce que tu trouveras ici.

✨ Mon objectif ?

Je me suis lancée dans le projet (comme beaucoup) de rénover les mondes des Sims 4 pour en faire un jeu qui me ressemble. Chaque ville est repensée pour être cohérente, fonctionnelle et vivante, avec une touche de réalisme, tout en restant Maxis Match.

Actuellement, je suis en train de finaliser Willow Creek, et je me suis dit : « Pourquoi ne pas partager tout ça ? » Mon ID dans la galerie : Elkyrion Pense à activer les CC si tu veux voir toutes mes constructions ! (Spoiler: certaines d'autres mondes sont déjà finies) 😊

🔧 Ce que tu trouveras sur mon Tumblr :

Une présentation claire pour chaque monde, accessible via les onglets sur le côté (Ma page Tumblr)

Pour chaque monde : une vue d’ensemble, puis chaque terrain détaillé avec :

Les Sims qui y vivent

Les CC et mods utilisés

Des liens directs vers les informations correspondantes

Je prends mon temps pour que chaque lieu ait une âme : chaque construction, chaque Sim a une histoire, des souvenirs, des relations, des photos… Bref, tout ce qui donne vie à un monde.

🧩 En ce qui concerne les CC

J’utilise beaucoup de contenu personnalisé, parfois très connu, parfois moins. Tu ne trouveras pas ici mon dossier “mods” tel quel, mais je répertorie au fur et à mesure tout ce que j’utilise dans l’onglet “Mes CC et mods”, dans le respect des créateurs. N’hésite pas à y jeter un œil si un objet ou un Sim t'intéresse, ou juste pour une session shopping !

🏙️ Petit plus :

Je suis une grande fan des terrains communautaires, et j’aime les villes vivantes : beaucoup de mes lots combinent commerces au rez-de-chaussée et appartements à l’étage, pour plus de réalisme. (Peut-être que ce sera entièrement fonctionnel un jour 🤞)

Merci de m'avoir lue jusqu'ici, j'espère que mon contenu te plaira ! Je poste au fur et à mesure, alors pense à t’abonner si tu veux suivre l’évolution de mes mondes.❤️
