• Mooring — A technical maneuver of securing, tying, or firmly anchoring a vessel, seaplane, or cargo using special cables, ropes, or chains to prevent accidental movement under the influence of waves or wind. In marine aviation, it denotes the controlled landing of a hydroplane or space capsule on the water surface.
• Arcading — A decorative or structural element consisting of a row of small arches, either blind or open, supported by small columns, corbels, or pilasters, frequently used in medieval Romanesque and Gothic architecture to ornament and rhythm the facades or exterior friezes of monumental buildings. This linear assembly provides a distinct geometric relief and contributes to the aesthetic articulation of massive masonry.
