I am not a sailing boat person by any measure. However I have a question that maybe someone can help me with. The liner RMS Titanic had 30ft. main lifeboats which were equipped with sails. From photos we know that the were of the single mast standing lug rig type. On the aftmost thwart there were two wooden structure that I'm wondering about. The attached photo shows the top of the thwart and these two structures. I suspect that they are some kind of fairlead or cleat but I just don't know their exact name or function. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Here is the photo from which the enlarged cropped area in my previous question was taken. The file is large (1.5 meg) that's why I can't attach it and am providing this link: http://webpages.charter.net/bpread/photos/Lifeboat%2003.jpg

Hi, From the picture, I would guess that when the lifeboats were built and delivered to the Titanic, that they were originaly stacked, and that those two boards on the rear thwart made a slot for the skeg of the next boat to sit in to keep the stack from shifting during delivery. It was probably removed just after this picture, before loading on the titanic. Just a guess though.

I received an e-mail notifying me that this topic had received a reply. I had forgotten that I asked this question here. It turns out that the answer was discovered through other avenues. The two wooden cleats on the thwart were used to secure a boat compass. The compass was housed in a wooden housing with a base which would be secured when it was slid under the edges of the cleats. Thanks for everybody's input.

Here's a drawing from a lifeboat manual which shows the chocks for the lifeboat compass.

Interesting that in the drawings there is also a hole in that same spot in the thwart, which is not in the photos.
An alternate mast position?
Ah, looking back, I believe it's a representation of the compass itself.Last edited on Mon Nov 2nd, 2009 10:26 am by Nauvoo |

Someone like the apprearance of world renowned branded watches on their wrist, the cheap replica watch are the best choice for them, they are cheap and good. And you also can prurchsehermes handbags with High quality can low prices, which will save a lot while enjoying the brand name's value.

Enamel is not baked on Enamel Cookware , as many think it to be,
but is silica, or glass, that is mixed with pigments and then melted onto the [url=http://www.hocin.com/31-aluminum-
cookware]Aluminum Cookware[/url]. The process creates a bond that, while strong enough for normal handling, can chip if
given hard knocks. If you drop enameled cookware onto a hard floor, for example, it is liable to chip, but not if you
stir the contents with Bakeware.
