Lastadie

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lastadie ( [... i̯ə] , also: [... DI] ; medieval Latin lastadium or lastagium ) is the name for a loading dock or loading bay .

The word actually means ballast . Ballast material had to be stored near the port; because ships with little or no cargo had to increase the ballast proportion in order to remain stable in rough seas .
