Marine DictionaryUniversal Dictionary of the Marine ⚓️

  • traveller
    racambeau, a sort of thimble, whose diameter is much longer, in proportion to the breadth of its surface, than the common ones, fig. 3. plate XII. It is furnished with a tail formed of a piece of rope, about three feet in length, one end of which encircles the ring, to which it is spliced. These machines are principally intended to facilitate the hoisting or lowering of the top-gallant-yards at sea: for which purpose two of them are fixed on each back-stay, whereon they slide upwards and downwards, like the ring of a curtain upon its rod: being thus attached to the extremities of the top-gallant-yard, they prevent it from swinging backwards and forwards, by the agitation of the ship, whilst the yard is hoisting or lowering at sea.
