His sailing vessel is guided by fate to the shores of his own country at a time when Sibylla's domain is overrun by the armies of one of her rejected suitors.

However, this artery is known to be a nutrient vessel with a distribution primarily to the proximal airways and supportive tissues of the lung.

A portable kerosene range designed for use aboard boats is sold with a special railing to keep it from moving with the motion of the vessel.

An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, that is used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the vessel from drifting due to wind or current.

A sea anchor is a drogue, not in contact with the seabed, used to control a drifting vessel.

Since all anchors that embed themselves in the bottom require the strain to be along the seabed, anchors can be broken out of the bottom by shortening the rode until the vessel is directly above the anchor ( at this point the anchor chain is " up and down " in naval parlance ).

Aweigh should not be confused with under way, which describes a vessel which is not moored to a dock or anchored, whether or not the vessel is moving through the water.

Since one fluke always protrudes up from the set anchor, there is a great tendency of the rode to foul the anchor as the vessel swings due to wind or current shifts.

If there is much current, or the vessel is moving while dropping the anchor, it may " kite " or " skate " over the bottom due to the large fluke area acting as a sail or wing.

These are used where the vessel is permanently or semi-permanently sited, for example in the case of lightvessels or channel marker buoys.

The anchor needs to hold the vessel in all weathers, including the most severe storm, but only occasionally, or never, needs to be lifted, only, for example, if the vessel is to be towed into port for maintenance.

One method of building a mooring is to use three or more conventional anchors laid out with short lengths of chain attached to a swivel, so no matter which direction the vessel moves one or more anchors will be aligned to resist the force.

A stream anchor, which is usually heavier than a kedge anchor, can be used for kedging or warping in addition to temporary mooring and restraining stern movement in tidal conditions or in waters where vessel movement needs to be restricted, such as rivers and channels.

A swivel is attached to the middle of the anchor cable, and the vessel connected to that.

When a vessel is in a narrow channel or on a lee shore so that there is no room to tack the vessel in a conventional manner an anchor attached to the lee quarter may be dropped from the lee bow.

Davy installed sacrificial anodes made from a more electrically reactive ( less noble ) metal attached to the vessel hull and electrically connected to form a cathodic protection circuit.

Because of the extra width of the floats attached to this tank, cutting a broad exit ramp into the bow of the barge was not considered advisable as it would have compromised the vessel ’ s seaworthiness to an unacceptable degree.

It may have been added to mend a break in antiquity or after, or the result of a conversion from an original amphora form ( paralleled by a similar blue-glass cameo vessel from Pompeii )-it was definitely attached to the bottom from at least 1826.

All service members, except those embarked or attached to a vessel currently away from its homeport, have a right to refuse NJP and request a court-martial.

For this deep water mission the Western Union Cable vessel the Lord Kelvin was converted to the ability to lower a cable down several miles, which had a unit attached that fired a hollow dart into the sea bed floor which was then raised with the seabed sample for analysis.

Unable to convince his associates to abandon tradition and consider escape, and reasoning that modern Kryptonian society had grown cold, unfeeling and thus decadent, Jor-El removed the Eradicator's planetary binding genes from his genetic pattern, took the birthing matrix of his unborn son Kal-El and attached a prototype interstellar propulsion system to the vessel.

A thrombus is always attached to the vessel wall and is never freely moving in the blood circulation.

Basically, a SWATH vessel consists of two parallel torpedo like hulls attached to which are two or more streamlined struts which pierce the water surface and support an above water platform.

These anchors are known as swing moorings because a vessel attached to this kind of mooring swings in a circle when the direction of wind or tide changes.

In sailing, it is a mechanical device used to modify the location at which lines used to control sails ( such as sheets ) are attached to the vessel.

Warping or kedging is a method of moving a sailing vessel, typically against the wind or out from a dead calm, by hauling on a line attached to a kedge anchor, a sea anchor or a fixed object, such as a bollard.

The Vietnam Service Medal is presented to any service member who served on temporary duty for more than 30 consecutive days, or 60 non-consecutive days, attached to or regularly serving for one, or more, days with an organization participating in or directly supporting ground ( military ) operations or attached to or regularly serving for one, or more, days aboard a naval vessel directly supporting military operations in the Republic of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos within the defined combat zone ( DoD 1348 C6. 6. 1. 1. 5.

* Transport: For personnel regularly attached to a transport or cargo vessel between the dates of 6 April 1917 and 11 November 1918.

The blue space ship the pair use is divided into two parts, a driving cockpit which can be detached in order to fly down to a planet in a similar manner to a jolly boat from a vessel and a larger booster component which is attached on top of the small driving compartment.

To receive the award, a service member must be: attached to or regularly serving for one or more days with an organization participating in ground / shore military operations ; attached to or regularly serving for one or more days aboard a naval vessel directly supporting military operations ; actually participating as a crew member in one or more aerial flights directly supporting military operations in the areas designated ; or serving on temporary duty for 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days, except, if a waiver is authorized for personnel participating in actual combat.

In both cases heavy chains are attached to the ship and the drag effect is used to slow the vessel once afloat until tugboats can move the hull to a jetty for fitting out.

However, as mentioned previously, spines and appendages are attached from the exterior of the vessel: only animals have the cellular machinery necessary to perform such a feat.

: 1: In American usage, a fixed structure attached to shore to which a vessel is secured when in port, generally synonymous with pier and wharf, except that pier tends to refer to structures used for tying up commercial ships and to structures extending from shore for use in fishing, while dock refers more generally to facilities used for tying up ships or boats, including recreational craft.

A cable or rode is the rope, chain, or combination thereof used to connect the anchor to the vessel.

The basic anchoring consists of determining the location, dropping the anchor, laying out the scope, setting the hook, and assessing where the vessel ends up.

After this second anchor is set, the scope on the first is taken up until the vessel is lying between the two anchors and the load is taken equally on each cable.

One of the primary characteristics of this technique is the use of a swivel as follows: the first anchor is set normally, and the vessel drops back to the limit of anchor cable.

An anchor from the naval vessel USS Chicago ( CA-136 ) is on display at the far end of the Pier

* A location where a boat or other vessel lies at anchor

An anchor mooring fixes a vessel's position relative to a point on the bottom of a waterway without connecting the vessel to shore.

The float allows a vessel to find the rode and connect to the anchor.
