OK boaties: is a 'cat head' still a 'cat head' when in the stern? I'm talking about the aft transverse timber in this pic. (The one forward is a through beam). It is for tying off, e.g. a painter/mooring rope or anchor rope. Words! Help!

Dear BBC Saturday Live, please educate yourselves v. carefully on archaeological ethics before deciding who to invite on your show
Maritime archaeologists don't profit, or enable others' profit, from underwater cultural heritage extraction. You have blundered.
