main brace

I was moved as out of a revery by the sight of Dale swinging across to the Serapis by the main brace pennant.

The captain praised us, and, as a matter of course in that day, he called all hands to "splice the main-brace."

The first door on the right opens into a little room where Main Brace sleeps.

They also have their specific names, as the "weather fore-top-gallant brace," the "lee main brace."

The name is also applied to the pieces on each quarter, for the main-brace blocks.
