salvagee

English

Etymology

salvage +‎ -ee

Noun

salvagee (plural salvagees)

One who is salvaged.
- H. G. Wells, The World Set Free
  We are no creators, we are consequences, we are salvagers — or salvagees.
(nautical) A free rope on a sailing ship (one that does not have a single dedicated purpose).
- 1800, The Commercial Agricultural and Manufacturer's Magazine:
  The salvagee or sub-division system is intended to remove this objection. The gradual and progressive re-action, which forms a distinctive character of this system, generates the strongest adhesion of the twists, or component parts of the rope, . (which at the same time are in spiral directions) nearly parallel; and of consequence, with a power but fractionally inferior to a combination of yarns parallel to each other.
- 1834, Charles Martelli -, The naval officer's guide for preparing ships for sea, page 81:
  Take a piece of good rope, splice a thimble in one end, and fit the other like a salvagee.
- 1872, William Schwenck Gilbert, More "Bab" Ballads: Much Sound and Little Sense, page 193:
  My mind misgives me, sir, that we Were wrong about that salvagee— I should restore it.
- 2011, Robert Louis Stevenson, Records of a Family of Engineers, →ISBN, page 119:
  She had then only to be steered very close to the buoy, when the salvagee was laid hold of with a boat-hook, and the bite of the hawser thrown over the cross-head. But the salvagee, by this method, was always left at the buoy, and was, of course, more liable to chafe and wear than a hawser passed through the ring, which could be wattled with canvas, and shifted at pleasure.
