hog
goret, a sort of flat scrubbing-broom, serving to scrape off the filth from a shipâs bottom, under water, particularly in the act of boot-topping, which see.This instrument is formed by inclosing a multitude of short twigs of birch, or such wood, between two pieces of plank, which are firmly attached to each other, after which the ends of the twigs or branches are cut off even, so as to form a sort of brush of considerable strength. To this machine is fitted a long staff, together with two ropes, the former of which is used to thrust the hog under the shipâs bottom, and the latter to guide, and pull it up again, close to the planks thereof, so as to rub off all the filth effectually. This exercise is usually performed in the shipâs boat, which is accordingly confined as close as possible to the vesselâs side during the operation, and shifted from one part of the side to another, till the whole is compleated.
