Out to Sea

Nice list - Klepper?

I second that--nice list; I like the Lyle Lovett quote. In fact, I think I will stop listening to this disturbing news about the nation's infrastructure and listen to some Lyle Lovett.

Hmm...well, it's a brand name, right? But what the heck--I'll add it. Thanks, trivet. :-)

And thanks to you too, slumry.

True, but sounds much better than folding kayak... Plus, they're great boats!

August 3, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

I've never seen a Klepper (except in photos)--do you have one?

slumry commented on the list out-to-sea

sieve? And I just learned that a pink is a small sailing vessel

August 3, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

That's odd...thought I'd added both of those already. Thanks, slumry.

August 3, 2007

trivet commented on the list out-to-sea

I do - they're a lot of fun!

August 3, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

They sure sound like they are. :-)

Wow. I was thinking for a long time about doing a list of types of vessels, but I always thought it would be too much work! I'm glad there's one here already.

I thought of a bunch more you may or may not want: barque (you have bark already, but this is a cooler spelling :P); brig (ditto, you have brigantine); steamer (you have steamship); sampan; tatara; dredger; tug (you have tugboat already); longship; liberty ship; vessel (might be too generic?); ironclad; trireme; liner; cruiser; battleship; submarine (is that too sub?); carrier as in aircraft carrier; collier; and my favorite, deadrise.

Cool list!

Edit: Some other cool ones from vega's list, "staying afloat": curragh, ship-of-the-line, yawl.

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Neat! Thanks, c_b. This list could go on forever. I'm amazed at how many names exist for specific types of boats. I'll add your suggestions (and those from vega's list, which I remember seeing ages back). You're right, though--I think vessel might be too generic, and I already have trireme. :-)

Educational & comprehensive - typically reesetee! You must live near the Indian Sea or spend a lot of time on it.

October 29, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Er, uh...yes, palooka, I do. How did you know? ;->

October 29, 2007

chained_bear commented on the list out-to-sea

Hey! You forgot boat!!! HA HA HAHA!!

I'm trying to be annoying. How am I doing, reesetee? ;)

October 29, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Quite well, c_b. Quite well. :-)

How about sternwheeler?

Nice! Thanks, mollusque!

I just came across three-decker. Turns out there are also two-deckers and four-deckers, but they seem less common (the words, I don't know about the boats).

December 4, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Thanks, m! Keep 'em coming. :-)

mollusque commented on the list out-to-sea

Good morning, reesetee! You're welcome. How about an Everglades airboat?

December 4, 2007

bilby commented on the list out-to-sea

Jukung. Sometimes spelled jukong, or djukung in the old spelling. I've certainly seen jukung used in articles about Indonesia or the Cocos Islands because it's the most accurate term to describe these boats.

Dreadnought is a frightening word, let along the ship.

December 4, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Odd; thought I'd already added airboat and dreadnought, but apparently not. Thanks also for jukung, bilby.

Is a hovercraft a boat? I'm sure it's not a fruit, however ...

I'm not a nautical boy. Don't know if outrigger is a boat or just a bit of one.

December 8, 2007

mollusque commented on the list out-to-sea

How about caramoussal?

December 14, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

What a delightfully dessert-like craft. Thanks, mollusque. Bilby, I don't know how I missed your comment, but I've found it now. I don't know that you'd want to take a hovercraft out to sea, but I've added outrigger. Thanks!

I was looking up hoodoo (great comments there), and found a strangely derived Dutch sloop: hoogaars.

December 18, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Quite a word--thanks! And while I was looking for more information, I found this:

"The Eel Parade has been a notable part of SAIL Amsterdam for a long time. True to tradition, authentic (sailing) ships play the main role in this nautical spectacle. Coming from the north, our own native Dutch ships like boyers, tjotters, small saloon boats, punters, tjalks, smacks, hoogaars, pusher tugs and tugboats will all have the opportunity to show themselves off. All participating ships are affiliated with the Federation of Old Dutch Vessels (Federatie Oud-Nederlandse Vaartuigen--FONV). The cities that will be visited by ships during the Eel Parade will all in turn have the chance to put on a show and promote their harbour activities in the presence of a big fleet of classic ships. Also leading up to SAIL 2005, a fleet of classic ships will once again sail from Friesland in the direction of Amsterdam."

An Eel Parade. Imagine that. :-)

Found a paragraph that may be of interest--though I couldn't find if you'd listed these yet, because the "cloud" link went all App Error on me.

"We visited many fishing villages clinging like treacle to the wave-battered cliffs of the Avalon Peninsula and examined a multitude of vessels ranging from small and ancient 'bully boats' to a venerable two-hundred-ton, three-masted schooner. Most were no longer seaworthy, but eventually we found a small schooner of a kind known as a Southern Shore bummer hauled out at the little outport of Admiral's Cove, not far from Fermeuse."

--Farley Mowat, Bay of Spirits, NY: Carroll and Graf, 2006.

December 19, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Thanks, c_b! I had schooner but not bummer or bully boat. Is there any further explanation of what types of boats they are? (Other than that a bummer is a small schooner.)

Either way--go on and add them yourself! I've made you co-owner of the list. :-)

December 19, 2007

chained_bear commented on the list out-to-sea

Unfortunately no, there's no further explanation. But I'm still reading the book, so I'll let you know if I find anything. (I knew you had schooner. I was reverting to my old habit of bracketing any words I liked.)

December 19, 2007

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Not absolutely necessary--I was just curious. And I bracket words I like too.

I like that image of "fishing villages clinging like treacle." :-)

Umiaq. With regards to hovercraft, I crossed the English Channel from Dover to Calais on a giant one of these.

January 1, 2008

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Great addition--thanks! And I'm sold on hovercraft, too.

Hey, c_b, thanks for adding all those boat & ship references from the O'Brian novels you're reading. (It took me this long to figure that out.)

Lipa-lipa.

Sorry, bilb--just saw your suggestion. Added, thanks!

reesetee, can you add piretta to this list? I guess I can't add words to it anymore...?

January 17, 2010

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Sure thing. Yes, I believe John said that they're working on fixing it so that you can re-add specific people as co-listers. For now, it's either one or all.

How about dghajsa?

salee rover. I seem to have lost the ability to add to this list. :-(

November 19, 2010

reesetee commented on the list out-to-sea

Yeah, I'll have to ask about that over at feedback. Meantime, I added salee rover. Thanks!

How about bottom? See definition 7 at CD.

Interesting...sure, it's added. Thanks, bilby.
