Nautical Terms

Here are just a few terms that might be of interest to some of you.

Before the mast – refers to the sailors’ quarters, which were located in the fore part of the ship (the bow), whilst the officers’ quarters were near the stern. The term can also be used as a synonym for a common sailor.

Clap on – to increase power by adding more rigging or deploying more men. Also: to set more sails.

Deck passage – accommodation for passengers on deck when there was insufficient cabin space. Often used on short voyages.

Hail – a greeting at sea

Handsomely – slowly and carefully; particularly when handling ropes under tension.

Maiden Voyage – the first voyage of a ship that has recently been fitted out and is finally fit for service.

Salt – nickname for a sailor. Also ‘Old Salt’ for a very experienced sailor.

Slew – to turn something around its own axis: to swing a mast round.

Stand by – to be ready

Stave off – to push a boat or floating object away from a jetty or the side of a ship using a pole, a boat hook or a similar tool.
