Description
The Windless by D Hackett
Windlass on the Nina
The Windlass is a type of winch used especially on ships to hoist anchors and haul on mooring lines. It provides the mechanical advantage needed to handle the heavy anchors that a Caravel carries. It can also be used to kedge the ship out of shallow water or up to a wharf. The wooden handles provide leverage and are moved as the drum turns.
