What is pellican hook?

A pelican hook is a type of fastener comprised of a latching mechanism that is designed to secure two lines or chains together. It is typically used on boats and ships to secure sails or rigging, but it can also be used in other applications where two lines or chains need to be fastened together. The pelican hook is distinguished by its long, curved arm that can be swung out of the way when not in use, allowing the lines to be quickly and easily connected or disconnected. The hook's design allows for strong and secure attachment while also allowing for quick and easy release when needed. Pelican hooks can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, and brass, depending on the application and the level of durability required.
