Bridge wing

Nock (from the Netherlands ) referred to the seafaring two completely different parts of the ship, on the one hand, the free end of round logs, on the other part of the bridge.

Spar

On the one hand is the extreme end of a round timber, especially in yards, gaffs or trees generally, the term of each of the outermost projecting over the sail ends of a round timber, will be posted on the sail. There are eyes and blocks where certain fittings are attached, for example peppers on the cams.

Bridge wing

In contrast, the bridge wing called the open deck on each side of the wheelhouse to the maximum breadth of the ship. The bridge wing serves for a better overview, eg in harbor maneuvers. For this reason, there are also navigation and control elements for the ship. For vessels who drive a lot in northern waters, the nock is often an integral part of the bridge, so no longer open.
