Which is part of the ground tackle?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Devil's claw.
The devil's claw is part of the ground tackle, which refers to the equipment used to secure a vessel to the bottom, such as anchors, chains, rodes, and related components. The devil's claw is a specialized type of anchor used to grip the seabed and hold the vessel in place. It is an important component of the ground tackle system on a vessel.
The other options are not part of the ground tackle. The charlie noble is a ventilation stack, the gooseneck is a type of fitting used to connect a boom to a mast, and the rat's tail is a type of rope splice, none of which are directly related to the vessel's anchoring system.
