| 词条 | Orlop deck |
| 释义 |
The orlop is the lowest deck in a ship (except for very old ships). It is the deck or part of a deck where the cables are stowed, usually below the water line.[1] It has been suggested the name originates from "overlooping" of the cables, or alternatively, that the name is a corruption of "overlap", referring to an overlapping, balcony-like half deck occupying a portion of the ship's lowest deck space. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word descends from Dutch overloop from the verb overlopen, "to run (over); extend".[2] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Keegan |first=John |authorlink =John Keegan |title =The Price of Admiralty |publisher =Viking |volume = |edition = |date =1989 |location =New York |page =279 |isbn =0-670-81416-4}} {{Sailing ship elements}}2. ^"Orlop" from Shorter Oxford English Dictionary 3 : Sailing ship components|Shipbuilding|Ship compartments |
