Fo'c'sle

A shortened form of "Fore Castle", the forward part of a ship where the anchor and mooring lines are kept.

My first duty on board ship was to swab the fo'c'sle.

A mooring line on the fo'c'sle just parted and busted a capstan.

Fo'c'sle

The dank, rusty deck locker on the bow where the Bosun gives the cabin boy the ol' N.A.M.B.L.A.

"Show me on the doll where he you touched you". Right there! He shoved his marlinspike up my Fo'c'sle, cap'n!
