Chain hook
The chain hook is an approx. 80 cm long iron hook with a T or ring handle,
with which heavy (anchor) chains can be transported on ships or in the
harbor, for example during a check. When the vessel is stopped by a chain
when launching a boat, the worker at the capstan catches that chain with
the aid of two shorter chain hooks (1). [MOT] (1) FROST: 140.
