Why 'stemwinder'?
G Sorry .... Back when I first started going to sea, most ships had their houses/enginerooms, amidships. As they started building ships as you see them today (majority with house/engineroom aft), someone came up with the term "stemwinder" to differentiate them. Exactly how the term relates, in all honesty, is beyond me. Shen |
