释义

chebacco

See also: Chebacco

English

Etymology

From Chebacco, the former name of Essex, a town in Massachusetts where such vessels were built, and the still current name of bodies of water in its environment. The town's name derives from Agawam, an Eastern Algonquian language.

Noun

chebacco (plural chebaccos)

  1. (nautical) A narrow-sterned boat formerly much used in the Newfoundland fisheries.
    • 1830, Silas Pinckney Holbrook, Sketches, by a Traveller:
      On an evening soon after the first of the year, we went on board a felucca boat (much less than a chebacco) for Leghorn.

Usage notes

In practice, the term chebacco most often seems to refer to a small boat (for a few people to sail on), while chebec refers to a larger ship (formerly used in war).

Synonyms

  • pink stern
