Fo'cs'le

Seamanese for forecastle, or any structure located in the forward part of a vessel where weapons, stores--or sailors--are stored.

Context: CS Forester's characters make frequent forays to the fo'cs'le (see, for instance, Horatio Hornblower and the Hotspur).

  1. Oh now, if you are going to be using seamanese, you must say stowed instead of stored. :) sorry for the late post. I forgot until this morning that I didn't put one up yesterday. :(
