ROWLOCK (pronounced rullock or rollock)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 788 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROWLOCK (pronounced rullock or rollock) , a device on the gunwale of a boat in or on which an oar rests, forming a fulcrum for the oar in rowing. The word is a corruption due to " row " of the earlier " oar-lock," O.E. drloc, a lock or enclosed
place
  for an oar. The simplest form of rowlock is a notch, square or rounded, on the gunwale, in which the oar rests; other kinds are formed by two pins or pegs, " thole pins " (thole being ultimately the same word as Norw.
toll
 , a
young
  fir-tree), and by a swivel with two horns of metals, pivoted in the gun-
wale
  or on an outrigger (see OAR).
