moor, to, in its strict meaning the condition of a ship when it lies in a harbour or anchorage with two anchors down and the ship middled between them. When a ship is moored in this fashion it is usual to bring both
cables to a
mooring swivel just below the
hawsepipes so that the ship may swing to the
tide without getting a
foul hawse. The word is also loosely used to describe other ways of anchoring a ship, e.g. when a ship has a stern anchor laid out as well as a bow anchor, it is said to be moored head and stern. It is also used to describe a vessel which is secured head and stern to a
quay; or alongside another vessel, with
berthing hawsers; or which lies with the bow or stern secured to a quay with an anchor laid out from the bow or stern, in which case a
passerelle is often used to gain access to the quay.
