A forelock mooring shackle is a specialized type of shackle, commonly used in marine applications, particularly for connecting anchor chains or mooring lines. It's characterized by a unique locking mechanism, a forelock, that secures the shackle's pin, preventing accidental disconnections. This design is crucial in environments where frequent maintenance or inspection is difficult or impractical.
