Also, the word "kittyvitsa" (more often used form "kittyvitsa"), according to the dictionary Grinchenko, called the boards, on which they drove a boat to the river, to put it on the "oak" (large boat) for crossing.

An anchor of European origin appeared approximately in the XIII-XVIII centuries. This is a heavy forged steel anchor, with a steel bracket on top and a wooden rod over it.

Around 1700, the stock consisted of one piece of wood, and later it began to be made, as a rule, from two wooden bars, connected by steel strips. The rod was inserted into the hole above the spindle or covered it externally, as in the Roman anchor.
