Nock (shipbuilding)
Nock (from Dutch or Plattdeutsch) designated in shipping two completely different parts of the vessel, on the one hand, the free end of logs, on the other hand a part of the bridge .
Bridge wing
The bridge wing designates the open deck on each side of the wheelhouse up to the maximum width of the ship. The bridge wing provides a better overview, e.g. B. in port maneuvers. For this reason there are also navigation or control elements for the ship. On ships that sail a lot in northern waters, the wing is often an integrated part of the bridge, so it is no longer open.
Round wood
On the one hand, the outermost end of a round timber , especially in the case of yards , gaffs or trees, is called a nock. More generally, the term refers to each of the outermost ends of a log protruding above the sail, to which sails are attached. On the cams there are eyes and blocks to which certain fittings are attached, for example pods .
