The Seafarers Language

[MMNETSEA]

Here is a collection - a terminology - a list - of words derived from hundreds of sources over many centuries. The spellings have evolved depending on the idiom of the seafarer's origin , the meanings may have been adapted and adopted as boats and ships have changed over time.

This terminological treatise in a word document is by no means complete or 100% accurate.

--------------------------------------

There are a couple of very good works which provide a huge compilation of terms nautical,

probably the best (IMHO) is :-
