  • chained_bear "... a sort of long scoop used to wet the decks and sides of a ship, in order to keep them cool, and to prevent them from splitting by the heat of the sun.... It is also employed in small vessels to wet the sails, to render them more efficacious in light breezes: this operation is sometimes performed in large ships by means of the fire-engine."
    —Falconer's New Universal Dictionary of the Marine (1816), 483–484 Oct 13, 2008
