pendant. 1. A
strop, or short length of rope or wire with a
thimble spliced into the end, fixed on each side of the main- and foremasts of a
square-rigged ship just below the
shrouds, and to which the main and fore
tackles were hooked. They received their name as they hung vertically downwards as low as the
catharpings.
2. Any length of rope or wire used in those places where it is required to transmit the power of a
purchase to a distant object. Generally they have a
thimble or a
block spliced into one end. They usually also have a qualifying name attached to indicate their use: e.g. a
cat pendant, used to
cat an anchor; and a
mooring pendant, used to haul the end of a chain
cable round the bows of a ship when two anchors are down and it is necessary to insert a mooring swivel.
