In an anchorage where there is little or no current or tidal stream, and in reasonably calm weather, a ship may be pointed to lie at an angle with the line of her cable by putting a spring on her cable. First heave in a shackle or so of cable. Now lead a hawser [...] out through the aftermost quarter fairlead, then for'ard and outboard of all, and shackle it with a joggle shackle to the cable outboard of the hawsepipe, thereby forming a spring. Then belay the hawser and veer the cable, and the ship's head should pay off away from the side on which the spring is rove until pointing in the required direction. Alternatively the hawser may be brought to an after capstan and hove in as the cable is veered. 2, record 1, English, - after%20capstan

Positioned on the deck, the mooring capstan typically features a vertically mounted drum or winch-like mechanism. Its primary function is to provide mechanical power for the winding and unwinding of mooring lines, aiding in the secure anchoring of the vessel to docks, piers, or other structures. The controlled rotation of the capstan drum allows for precise adjustments to the tension of mooring lines, contributing to the proper alignment and positioning of the ship during berthing. 1, record 3, English, - mooring%20capstan
