Many technical terms and names from old shipbuilding have been lost in modern language, often as a result of changes in construction techniques. Anyone trying to understand the old professional literature will encounter terms such as berghouten, lijfhouten, scheerstroken, rahouten, schaarstokken, windferingen, regelingen, and zogstukken. Some have gained new meanings, while others have truly disappeared from our vocabulary. In this section of Witsen Shipbuilding, you will find all the terms used by Witsen, along with the corresponding formulas, linked to a 3D image of the part and its location in the ship.
