translate English to French: The deckhand, then, with a pike pole, was to pull up the bridles to connect them with the bollards, which were steel upright canisters used to tie up shorelines.
Ensuite, le matelot de pont devait, à l'aide d'une gaffe, soulever les câbles-brides pour les relier aux bollards, de gros fûts cylindriques en acier coulé installés en position verticale qui servaient à ancrer les navires.
