Transome.

That timber which lyes a thwart the Sterne of the Ship, betwixt the two fashion-peeces, and doth lay out her breadth at the Buttock, is called the Transome: This is just under the Gun-Roome-port a sterne: to lie with a Ships-transome, that is to lie Just with the end of the planks where they are fastned to the fashion-peeces a sterne: to come in a Ships-transome: that is just betwixt her Gun-Roome-port, and her Quarter-port: this is the safest coming-up, for their Ships are most naked: and their Gallies doe use to come-up, but now they begin to cut out ports close by the transome.
