Wings were an English rock band formed in 1971 by Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney, session drummer Denny Seiwell and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine.

However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group's tenure.

This term is particularly used in the stowage of the several materials contained in the hold, and between the cable-tiers and the ship's sides.
