Well done Bob, admitting defeat is hard, but you're better off
for it. Now, could you fart out commode joe and splain it to him?

Sure thing!
Joe, a travellift is a crane that no one ever calls a crane. They call
it a "Travel Lift." When a sailor calls for a crane, you can bet it's
for stepping a mast or some such venture, although some lower end
facilities will still employ a standard crane for hauling boats. So the
correct term is "travel lift" as it refers to the specific design
employed by yards. Any sailor would know this, which is why Bob Crantz
got confused.
Hope this helps!
