PREFACE. 


THIS  Vocabulary  of  Nautical  Terms  possesses  at  least  one 
merit,  that  of  accuracy.  The  manner  in  which  it  has  been 
compiled  can  scarcely  leave  any  doubt  on  that  head.  All 
the  terms  referring  to  the  parts  of  the  ship,  or  to  her  rigging 
—in  short,  all  words  used  in  seamanship — have  been  verified 
by  means  of  illustrated  and  explanatory  diagrams  in  each 
language.  Besides  this,  some  of  the  best  books  have  been 
consulted,  and  especially  Captain  Nares'  *  Seamanship,'  and 
the  most  excellent  translation  of  it  by  Lieut.  Ed.  Tiret  of 
the  French  Navy. 

The  words  of  command  have  been  tested  over  and  over 
again — a  very  necessary  thing,  considering  the  difficulty  of 
this  portion  of  the  work. 


IV  PREFACE. 

The  utility  of  such  a  book  is,  I  think,  obvious,  Officers  of 
the  Merchant  Service,  who  have  such  frequent  occasions  of 
ordering  repairs  whilst  in  a  foreign  port,  or  of  employing 
either  French  or  French-speaking  pilots,  will  find  it  no  less 
useful  than  officers  of  the  Royal  Navy.

INTRODUCTION. 


SINCE  this  Vocabulary  of  Nautical  Terms  appeared,  at  the 
beginning  of  the  present  year,  it  has  undergone  constant  revision. 
The  Compiler  has  found,  by  practical  use,  that  very  important 
words,  used  especially  in  modern  naval  warfare,  had  been 
omitted,  owing  to  the  difficulty  of  collecting  together  all  the 
useful  words  without  burdening  the  book  with  long  columns  of 
obsolete  terms.  These  words  have  now  been  added  before  the 
entire  edition  is  exhausted,  so  that  present  purchasers  may  have 
at  once  the  benefit  of  them.  We  have  also  taken  this  opportunity 
of  making  a  few  necessary  corrections.

tinuous exertion,  at  the  rate  of  33,000  Ibs.  raised  through  one  foot  in  one 
minute.  Cheval  vapeur  is  now  equivalent  to  100  kilogrammetres.  The

*  The  French  nautical  mile,  or  knot,  like  the  English  nautical  mile, 
or  knot,  is  the  length  of  a  minute  of  latitude.  Though  it  is  different 
for  every  latitude,  it  is  considered  to  be  equal  to  1852  metres,  that 
is,  6076*40  feet.  As  the  Admiralty  knot  is  equal  to  6080  feet,  the 
difference  between  the  French  and  the  English  nautical  miles  is  then 
equal  to  3*60  feet,  a  difference  which  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  take  into 
consideration  except  for  very  long  distances.

FRENCH  METRIC  SYSTEM  OF  WEIGHTS  AND  MEASURES. 

The  system  is  decimal  throughout. 

The  basis  of  the  system  is  the  metre,  which  is  equal  to 
39*3708  inches.  The  mitre  is  divided  into  ten  parts,  called 
decimetres ;  each  decimetre  into  ten  parts,  called  centimetres ; 
and  each  centimetre  into  ten  parts,  called  millimetres.  There- 
fore, i  metre  =  10  decimetres  =  100  centimetres  =  1000  milli- 
metres. 

Square  and  cubic  measures  are  derived  from  the  metre. 
The  sub-divisions  of  the  square  and  cubic  measures  are  the 
same  as  for  the  linear  metre,  but  naturally 

I  square  metre     =  100  square  decimetres. 

10,000      „      centimetres. 
1,000,000      ,,      millimetres. 


I  cubic 


1,000  cubic  decimetres. 
1,000,000      „      centimetres. 
1,000,000,000      „      millimetres. 


The  litre,  used  for  measures  of  capacity,  is  equal  to  the 
contents  of  a  cube  whose  side  is  i  decimetre  long.  There- 
fore, a  cubic  decimetre  is  the  same  as  i  litre  (not  quite  an 
English  quart). 

The  gramme,  which  is  the  unit  of  weight,  is  equal  to  the 
weight  of  one  cubic  centimetre  of  pure  water  at  the  tempera- 
ture of  4  degrees  centigrade,  weighed  in  Paris. 

To  form  multiples,  the  words  deca  (10),  hecto  (100),  kilo 
(1000),  myria  (10,000),  are  prefixed  to  the  names  of  the 
particular  measure.  Thus  kilogramme  —  1000  grammes ; 
myriametre  =  10,000  metres.  For  the  sub-multiples,  the 
words  deci  (^),  centi  (y^),  milli  (10100),  are  used  in  the 
same  manner  as  the  multiples,  e.g.  decilitre  -  J^  of  a  litre; 
centigramme  =  T J^  of  a  gramme.

TABLE  VI. 
THE  THERMOMETERS. 

The  Centigrade  thermometer  is  universally  used  by  scien- 
tific men,  and  it  is  the  scale  most  generally  employed  on  the 
continent.  The  Germans  call  it  the  '  Celsius  thermometer.' 

The  Reaumur  scale  is  principally  used  in  Russia.  In 
these  two  scales  the  freezing  point  is  denoted  by  o,  and  the 
boiling  point  respectively  by  100  and  80.  Therefore,  100 
degrees  Centigrade  =  80  degrees  Reaumur  =  180  degrees 
Fahrenheit. 

As  the  indications  of  the  Fahrenheit  scale  begin  at  32 
degrees,  and  not  at  zero,  we  must  remember  that  in  convert- 
ing from  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  Centigrade  or  Reaumur,  32 
degrees  must  first  be  subtracted;  whilst  when  we  convert 
degrees  Centigrade  or  Reaumur  into  Fahrenheit,  3 2. degrees 
must  be  added  after  the  multiplication  and  division  have 
been  made. 

It  is  important  to  remember  that,  since  100  degrees  Centi- 
grade =80  degrees  Reaumur  =  i 80  degrees  Fahrenheit, 

5  degrees  Centigrade 
=  4       „        Reaumur 
=  9       „        Fahrenheit. 

Example  I.     Express  59°  Fahrenheit  into  Centigrade. 
9  :  5  : :  (59  -  32) :  Answer,  that  is,  $^-  =  15°  Cent. 

Example  II.     Express  95°  Fahrenheit  into  Reaumur. 

9:4::  (9  5-32):  Answer,  that  is,  i^  =  28°  Reaumur. 


TABLES.  65 

Example  III.     Express  28°  Reaumur  into  Fahrenheit. 


4  :  9  :  :  28  :  Answer,  that  is,  9^°  =  5^,  to  which  add  32 
-=95°  Fahrenheit. 

Example  IV.     Express  25°  Centigrade  into  Fahrenheit. 

5  :  9  :  :  25  :  Answer,  that  is,  9   .£5  =  4^  to  which  add  32 
=-77°  Fahrenheit. 

Example  V.     Express  25°  Centigrade  into  Reaumur. 
5  :  4  :  :  25  :  Answer,  that  is,  4X25  =  20°  Reaumur. 

Example  VI.     Express  28°  Reaumur  into  Centigrade. 

4  :  5  :  :  28  :  Answer,  that  is,  I*-??  =  35°  Centigrade. 

4 

N.B.  —  If  the  number  of  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  be  converted 
into  degrees  of  the  other  scales  happened  to  be  below  32, 
the  results  obtained  would  be  negative,  that  is,  below  o. 

Example  VII.     Express  23°  Fahrenheit  into  Centigrade. 
9  :  5  :  :  (23  -  32)  :  Answer,  that  is,  5  x  (  "  9)  =  -  5°  Cent. 


N.B. — See  next  page  for  a  Table  of  the  most  common 
degrees  of  Fahrenheit  into  degrees  of  the  Centigrade  scale.
