| Nothing would suit Nelson but this four-decked ship, so we crossed the hawse of about six of them, and were abreast of her. |
|
| When a ship is moored, she is often thought to be in such a state of security, that the keeping a clear hawse is too often neglected. |
|
| If a ship is moored too taut she may trip her anchors in the case of a foul hawse. |
|
| On some ships, particularly warships, the winch and hawse pipes might be below the deck. |
|
| When the pilot boarded the Yong Kang at 1000, he found the anchor in the hawse pipe and the main engine running astern. |
|
| An officer was dispatched to the forecastle to let go the anchors, but they were frozen in the hawse pipes. |
|
| The crew was unable to let go the anchors, which were frozen in the hawse pipes and, without propulsion power, the vessel drifted with the ice flow and grounded outside the channel. |
|
| The main ridge continues southward, stepping down Great and Little How Crags to the depression of Levers Hawse. |
|
| To the west of the Hawse is the valley of Tarn Head Beck, the main feeder of Seathwaite Tarn, a reservoir in a side valley of the Duddon system. |
|
| The eastern arm of Swirl How leads down the stony slope of Prison Band to the depression at Swirl Hawse. |
|
| Swirl Hawse Beck runs south from this ridge to feed Levers Water, whilst to the north of Wetherlam is Greenburn. |
|
| Direct ascents can be made via Levers Hawse to the south or Swirl Hawse to the east. |
|
| Both can be gained from Coniston and Swirl Hawse is also a practicable objective from Little Langdale. |
|
| It rises due south from Hawse End, reaching the summit in two distinct steps. |
|
| Hawse End is also served by the Derwent Water Motor Launch and this enables visitors to Keswick to combine a sail on the lake with an ascent of the fell. |
