It is either capstan or windlass, I'm not sure of precise and exact definition and use of each word -- with Dad having been 30 years in Navy this is embarrassing!

The visual feel, texture, I'm not sure of best word to use, of that is most appealing.

It be a capstan for the anchors and the much smaller windlass was used for adjusting the rigging.
Just Google image search the two words and the difference will become obvious.

Capstans have a vertical shaft that is rotated by sailors pushing on long bars (horizontal motion). Think calling the Kraken in POC movies. Windlasses have a horizontal shaft that is turned by inserting bars into the shaft, pulling down, and then removing the bars and reinserting them "higher" up on the shaft.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and can be used for a great variety of "heavy pulling" such as anchors, rigging, cargo handling, etc... |
