TUMBLING-HOME
TUMBLING-HOME, (encabanement, Fr.) that part of a ship's side which falls inward above the extreme breadth, so as to make the ship gradually narrower from the lower deck upwards. This angle is represented in general throughout all the timbers in the plane of projection, plate I. It is also more particularly expressed by Q T in the MIDSHIP-FRAME, plate VII. where it is evident, that the ship grows narrower from Q towards T. N. B. In all our old sea-books, this narrowing of a ship from the extreme breadth upwards is called housing-in. See UPPER-WORK.
