    The end of the hawser-like rope winding through these intricacies, was then conducted to the windlass, and the huge lower block of the tackles was swung over the whale; to this block the great blubber hook, weighing some one hundred pounds, was attached.

    reasoning
    Both entities are labeled 'windlass'. The source describes a 'ship_mechanism' for 'heaving cutting tackles and rolling the whale', located 'on deck'. The candidate describes 'ship_equipment' for 'hoisting anchors or hauling ropes', located on the 'forward deck'. The functions are consistent, with the source providing a specific application of a general windlass, and the locations are compatible. They refer to the same type of ship machinery.
