oarhole (複数形 oarholes)

1. (航海) a slot or opening in the side of a galley or ship through which an oar is fitted
   • 2016, William R. Short, Icelanders in the Viking Age:

     Oarholes were sealed when not in use by wooden covers that rotated in place to keep out water. A slot cut into the oarhole allowed the blade of the oar to pass through the oarhole so oars could be deployed entirely inboard of the ship.
