“The waters are beaten with oars and loaded ropes, and thus the fish are frightened into a narrower space. Listen to the discordant noises on the shore! Boys shout shrilly; dogs bark loudly; and women chatter, and all these sounds mingle with the deep-toned nautical 'Yo! heave ho! yo! hoy! hoy! hoy!' at sea. Though yourself a calm reticent student when in London you catch the Cornish enthusiasm, and as if your whole venture was in pilchards you yourself shout and shriek, and jump and rave.”
[Seaside Divinity, Fraser, Humphreys, 1861]


“CAPSTAN, CAPSTAND, or CAPSTEM,
...each spoke being propelled by one or sometimes two men, who, placing their hands on the several levers, which rise as high as the chest, push before them, at first slow and heavily, till, having obtained the momentum, the men increase their speed, till, when the load is not excessive, they break into a run, and, if sailors, accompany their labour with a song or chorus.”
