  1. Careening

    File An Old Whaler Hove Down For Repairs, Near New Bedford.jpg thumb right An Old Whaler Hove Down For Repairs, Near New Bedford , a wood engraving drawn by F. S. Cozzens and published in Harper s Weekly, December 1882. Careening a sailing Ship vessel is the practice of beach nautical beaching it at high tide . This is usually done in order to expose one side or another of the ship s Hull watercraft hull for maintenance and repairs below the water line when the tide goes out. This practice is also know as to hove down . The process could be assisted by securing a top halyard to a fixed object such as a tree or rock to pull the Mast sailing mast over as far as possible. Maintenance might include repairing damage caused by dry rot or cannon shot, tar ring the exterior to reduce leakage, or removing biofouling organisms such as barnacle s to increase the ship s speed. Pirates would often careen their ships because they had no access to drydock s. A secluded bay would suffice for necessary repairs and or hull cleaning, and such little safe havens could be found throughout the islands in the Caribbean and nearly around the world. One group of islands, Tres Marias , became popular when Francis Drake had sailed there in 1579 and quickly became a place for piracy. ref Gerhard, Peter. 1958. The tres marias pirates. The Pacific Historical Review 27, 3 Aug. 239 44. ref File Atlas pittoresque pl 187.jpg thumb left Nineteenth century vessels being careened. One exotic method was the ancient practice of beaching a ship on a shingle beach with the goal of using wave action and the shingle to scour the hull. Careening in popular culture Robert Louis Stevenson s Treasure Island contains a reference to the practice the Hispaniola is purposely beached on the island.

Image SurfBoatGoingTroughBreak.jpg thumb right 300px Surf boat passing a Ocean surface wave breaker . A surfboat is an oar driven boat designed to enter the ocean from the beach in heavy surf or severe waves. It is often used in lifesaving or rescue missions where the most expedient access to victims is directly from the beach. Construction The boat building traditions of several countries produced the same basic design when faced with the same problem, that of passing through turbulent whitewater and breaking waves and returning to shore. A broad stern presented to steep and breaking waves when approaching shore can result in broaching turning sideways to the swell and swamping or capsizing of the boat. Therefore, surf boats have a pointed stern and usually a fairly marked sheer. The best known exception to this double ended nature of surf boats, is the coble of north eastern England. Here, the broaching problem was resolved by beaching stern first. The run the after part of the bottom was broad, flat and straight so that once the boat had beached, it remained upright. However, beaching the boat was a special skill which involved unshipping the rudder at the right moment. Because they do not fit the usual double ended pattern, cobles are not normally called surf boats. Until the 1950s, the most widely known surfboats were those of Accra , Ghana . Until a port was built, commercial cargoes were landed through the surf by very skillful boatmen with strong arms and equally strong nerve. In Tristan da Cunha and Pitcairn Island the surf boats are known as longboat s. Use Image Surf boat.jpg thumb Bribie Island, 2007. 250px right Bribie Island, 2007.

The crew of Lascars fared badly on the slow and arduous trip with several dying and the rest suffering from starvation and illness. In a gale on the night of 9 July 1821 the ship was beached on Hunter Island Tasmania Hunter Island , Bass Strait . Nobody was injured in the beaching, however after waiting several months for rescue, it was decided to try and make Port Dalrymple . When one of the longboats was launched it capsized leading to the deaths of six crew and two prisoners.

Image MysticWhaleBoat.JPG thumb Whaleboat aboard Charles W. Morgan ship a whaling ship at Mystic Seaport A whaleboat is a type of open boat that is relatively narrow and pointed at both ends, enabling it to move either forwards or backwards equally well. It was originally developed for whaling, and later became popular for work along beaches, since it does not need to be turned around for beaching or refloating. Whaleboats have also been used in warfare. The whaleboat was used by Roberts Rangers in the French & Indian war. In 1772, American colonials used whaleboats to Gasp e Affair attack and destroy HMS Gasp e 1763 6 in Narragansett Bay . During the American Revolutionary War , there were many whaleboat raids, including one with 230 men led by Return J. Meigs, Sr. to Meigs Raid sack Sag Harbor on Long Island in 1777. On December 7, 1782, two fleets of whaleboats fought a bloody battle on Long Island Sound known as the Boats Fight. During the desperate hand to hand conflict, every man involved was either killed or injured. Whaleboats are traditionally oar powered, although in whaling use often had a dismountable mast and sails, too. After 1850 most were fitted with a centreboard for sailing. When sailing, steering was with a rudder when rowing, steering was done with an oar held over the stern. Whaleboats used in whaling had a stout post mounted on the aft deck, around which the steersman would cinch the rope once the whale had been harpooned, and by which the whale would drag the boat until it was killed. The term whaleboat may be used informally of larger whaler s, or of a boat used for whale watching . On modern warships, a relatively light and seaworthy boat for transport of ship s crew may be referred to as a whaleboat or whaler .
