SHIFTED
SHIFTED, (defarrimée, Fr.) the state of a ship's ballast or cargo when it is shaken from one side to the other, either by the violence of her rolling in a turbulent sea, or by an extraordinary inclination to one side when under a great pressure of sail. This circumstance, however, rarely happens, unless to those cargoes which are stowed in bulk, as corn, salt, or such materials. See LADEN and TRIM.SHIFTED, (feuté, Fr.) when expressed of the wind, implies altered.
