Question 2143 Deck General

The correct answer is D) sewing. "Herringbone" is a sewing pattern or stitch that is characterized by a series of V-shaped stitches. This stitch pattern is commonly used in textiles and fabrics, but not in the context of maritime operations like mooring, splicing, or anchoring. The herringbone stitch is primarily associated with sewing and clothing construction, which makes D) sewing the correct answer choice. The other answer choices (A, B, C) do not relate to the term "herringbone" in the maritime context. Mooring, splicing, and anchoring are all important seamanship skills, but they do not involve the specific herringbone sewing pattern.
