GOOSE. See ORNITHOLOGY.
Goose-Neck, in a ship, a piece of iron fixed on the one end of the tiller, to which the lanyard of the whip-staff or the wheel-ropes comes, for steering the ship.
Goose-Wing, in nautical language. When a ship sails before or with a quarter-wind on a fresh gale, to make the fore way, a boom and sail are launched out on the leeward, and the sail so fitted is called a goose-wing.
