What do you mean by rowlock header soldier sailor shiner or rowlock stretcher and stretcher?

Masonry units can be laid in several positions. For example, think of a pair of dice. Each face has a separate number on it. A brick is similar, but there are only 3 faces that are different sizes (since the direct oposite side is the same dimension) and each of those faces can be installed in two directions for a total of six different positions. These positions are called stretcher, header, rowlock, shiner, soldier, and sailer.

When on a sailboat under power of a small motor do you lash the tiller and steer by motor or keep the motor straight and steer by tiller?
This is a WAG from a power boater, not a sailboater, but...I think there are two things to consider. (assuming you don't have remote controls for your kicker) First, how accessible is the outboard? If the outboard is so far aft of the cockpit that you can't reach the tiller (or wheel) then you will need to be with the engine for forward/reverse control and speed control. On the other hand, if your outboard is close enough to the rudder control to use it, the rudder has much greater surface area and you would have more steering control using the rudder. Just an educated guess. Good luck. From a sailor- On my boat I steer by rudder and leave the motor amidships for normal motoring But the outboard, with its directional thrust, is very handy when in tight quarters especially at low speeds when the rudder is less effective. I have an extension for the motor control handle to make it easily accessible from the cockpit.
How do people on submarines get food?
All modern submarines typically have a food stores loadout of 90 days (i.e., enough food onboard for the crew for 90 days), though that's usually not the case unless an extended submerged deployment is ordered. Normal operations for Fast-Attack submarines generally keep them in port often enough to replenish stores used while at sea, and FBM submarines normally deploy for 90 days so they have a 90-120 day loadout before they leave. For Fast-Attacks going on longer deployments, enough fresh, frozen, and canned stores are brought aboard to cover at least 90 days for all crew members aboard. It can get pretty packed in some boats; there's never enough room for everything, so canned stuff usually gets secured on the decks in various spaces, and you have to walk on them until it gets used. In extreme circumstances, submarines can be resupplied at sea, though it's a very rare occurrence. If a boat is in an operational area where they can't be resupplied easily, rationing will take place until such time as supplies can be replenished. As an example, during our '86 trip to the Arctic/North Pole, we lost our freezers about 2 weeks out. One of the Arctic Ice Stations we surfaced near helped us replenish our lost food stores. To this day, I will rarely eat ham and cheese sandwiches, since that's about all we had. 5lb cans of coffee are arguably the most precious item brought aboard, as coffee is just something a sailor can't do without.
What is a shackles?
Shackles are steel connectors made from a body and a pin.A shackle, also known as a gyve, is a U-shaped piece of metal secured with a clevis pin or bolt across the opening, or a hinged metal loop secured with a quick-release locking pin mechanism. The term also applies to handcuffs and other similarly conceived restraint devices that function in a similar manner.Shackles are the primary connecting link in all manner of rigging systems, from boats and ships to industrial crane rigging, as they allow different rigging subsets to be connected or disconnected quickly. A shackle is also the similarly shaped piece of metal used with a locking mechanism in padlocks.Types:Bow ShackleWith a larger "O" shape to the loop, this shackle can take loads from many directions without developing as much side load. However, the larger shape to the loop does reduce its overall strength. Also referred to as an anchor shackle.D-ShacklesAlso known as a chain shackle, D-shackles are narrow shackles shaped like a loop of chain, usually with a pin or threaded pin closure. D-shackles are very common and most other shackle types are a variation of the D-shackle. The small loop can take high loads primarily in line. Side and racking loads may twist or bend a D-shackle.Pin ShacklesA pin shackle is closed with an anchor bolt and cotter pin, in a manner similar to a clevis. It is for this reason they are often referred to, in industrial jargon, as clevises. Pin shackles can be inconvenient to work with, at times, as the bolt will need to be secured to the shackle body to avoid its loss, usually with a split pin or seizing wire. A more secure version used in crane rigging features the combination of a securingnut (hardware) located alongside the cotter pin. Pin shackles are practical in many rigging applications where the anchor bolt is expected to experience some rotation.Snap ShacklesAs the name implies, a snap shackle is a fast action fastener which can be implemented single handedly. It uses a spring activated locking mechanism to close a hinged shackle, and can be unfastened under load. This is a potential safety hazard, but can also be extremely useful at times. The snap shackle is not as secure as any other form of shackle, but can come in handy for temporary uses or in situations which must be moved or replaced often, such as a sailor's harness tether or to attach spinnaker sheets. Note: When this type of shackle is used to release a significant load, it will work rather poorly (hard to release) and is likely to have the pin assembly or the split ring fail.Twist ShacklesA twist shackle is usually somewhat longer than the average, and features a 90° twist so the top of the loop is perpendicular to the pin. One of the uses for this shackle include attaching the jib halyard block to themast, or the jib halyard to the sail, to reduce twist on the luff and allow the sail to set better.
