Winches

A winch is a mechanism used to reel in, let out, or otherwise adjust the tension of a rope, wire, or cable. Boats and ships make use of multiple winches to handle halyards, sheets, as well as anchor or mooring lines. The basic mechanism consists of a spool or winch drum to wind in and stores the line.

Different Types of Winches on Ship
There are two types: anchor chain winch and anchor rope winch.

A windlass is a mechanical device, usually located near the center of the foredeck (the deck, or flat part of the boat near the front) that grasps the anchor rode (rode: line or chain that attaches the anchor to the boat), pulls it out of the water, and deposits the line/chain either on the deck or below decks 

Manual tension mooring winch – Manual winch always requires a person to handle the controls for heaving or rendering. - Non-split drum mooring winch – The undivided drum winches are commonly found on smaller ships.
