  1. carrick bitt

    A carrick bitt is a type of post structure on the deck of a ship used for securing ropes or cables. It typically consists of two vertical posts (the bitts) connected by a horizontal cross piece, forming a shape that resembles a goal post. The design of the carrick bitt allows for the secure fastening of heavy loads, particularly useful during activities like anchoring or towing. The name derives from a type of knot known as a Carrick bend, often used in tying off lines to the bitts.
