RING-BOLT
RING-BOLT, (cheville à boucle, Fr,) an iron bolt, with an eye at one end, wherein is fitted a circular ring, as expressed in fig. 3. and 4. plate II. The ring-bolts are for several uses, but particularly to hook the tackles, by which the cannon of a ship are managed and secured: accordingly there is one fixed in the deck opposite to every cannon, represented by Z, plate III. DECK: and they are, for the same purpose, fixed in the edges of the gun-ports, as expressed in the MIDSHIP-FRAME, plate VII. They are driven through the plank and the corresponding beam, or timber, and retained in this position by a small pin thrust through a hole in the small end, as appears in fig. 39. plate II.
