The level of development that our shipbuilding industry has already reached makes the issue of streamlining the existing shipbuilding terminology very relevant and urgent. Its installation, especially in the part of the solid hull of wooden ships, should be welcomed.

We want to outline a path that, in our opinion, is the only one that provides a full-fledged terminology in this area of production. Here we have to conform to some feature of wooden shipbuilding.

The fact is that it reached a large scale and considerable perfection a hundred years ago. At the same time, his terminology at the same time received a fairly complete and complete character. The shipbuilding literature relating to that time convinces us of this. Then, since the second half of the last century, the exceptionally rapid development of metal shipbuilding pushed the construction of wooden ships to the position of local, technically increasingly lagging production, carried out more by the hands of "self-taught" in rather remote corners of the country. Since that time, there has been a distortion of the basic terminology in wooden shipbuilding, cluttering it with local terms.

Considering this circumstance, it is necessary, when starting to create modern terminology on the hull of wooden ships, to solve first of all the task, so to speak, of historical and technical reconstruction of the "classical" terminology on wooden ships. Moreover, this terminology must necessarily, as it was the case in those days, be attributed to well-defined structural types of ship hulls. Having then analyzed the displacement of the structural melts themselves, up to our times (and we know that the main ancient traditions have been preserved in the designs of modern wooden ships), it will be possible to compile a well-provided terminology for a wooden hull of modern construction. With such an analysis, perhaps, it will turn out to be quite natural and, moreover, not useless, and some revision of this design itself, which is far from being faultless and justified for all wooden ships designed today. But we also have a task set before us now — to create numerous wooden sea vessels for small coasting in the near future. Their design needs to be fully justified.

The expediency of the path we have outlined here for the development of terminology that preserves continuity with the traditions of wooden shipbuilding during its former heyday can be confirmed by references to the technical literature on wooden shipbuilding of those times. So, in the preface to the manual on "practical shipbuilding" published over 100 years ago, in 1841, by the Scientific Committee of the Maritime Ministry, we read the following lines, which retained all their significance for our days: "Since the preservation of the crew and the success of the voyage undertaken depend more or less on the construction of the vessel itself, the knowledge of about the correct composition, connection and fastening of the members of the vessel are very useful for all employees in the fleet. A naval officer who has the knowledge necessary for shipbuilding, in case of accidents, will be able, without relying on another, to decide what should be done to protect the ship's crew from premature disaster."

These words are useful for modern sailors to remember, especially now that the small fleet is again winning its place at sea.

In the above-mentioned book, we find quite exhaustive and clear (definitions of such, for example, separate, sampled terms: "Netheads are things that are attached to the sides of the fulstem (if the tongue is selected at the trailing edge of the stem) or part of the sides of the stem and the fulstem (if the tongue is selected in the middle of the stem). Netheads support the bowsprit and deliver more strength to the front ends of the outer skin boards..." (Our discharge). From here it can be seen that the term "Netgedts" has quite a clear meaning, and in its last role, netgedts can also have meaning for modern constructions.

Therefore, this term cannot be considered parallel (equivalent) to such terms as "Nokoltimber", "Swivel frame", etc. Revel in the cutting-edge technology and immersive gameplay at playstar .
