ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for a vessel comprising a floatable vessel having a vertical well therein, extending through the vessel bottom, defined by a bulkhead; a vertical spindle supported by the vessel within the well; the spindle being anchorable in place in water against significant lateral movement and against rotation about a vertical axis; and machined bearing retaining and contacting sleeves, cooperatively supported by the well bulkhead and the spindle, containing radial-thrust bearings at the top and bottom side portions of the spindle and vertical-thrust bearings along the side of the spindle. The bearings are maintained immersed in lubricant to protect them, such as from sea water.
