"Splice the mainbrace" = nôi dây leo chính -> nghĩa là mời rượu cho thủy thủ đoàn, nhất là rượu mạnh, rượu rum.
Ví dụ
The Royal Navy personnel gathered (tụ họp) at Portsmouth Naval Base, Hampshire, to "splice the mainbrace" - a celebration involving drinking a tot (một chút) of rum.
After all that effort, Wilkes did something else nice for the crew. “ … all hands were called to ‘splice the mainbrace,’ ” writes Erskine, using a sailing term derived about one of the most difficult chores (việc vặt) in a sailing, repairing rigging, a hard bit of work deserving a drink afterward.
It all means that there are a host of things to do, whether you’re into music, drama, history, fashion, food or....pirates. Avast (dừng lại) and aback (lùi lại) me hearties.
