Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The tackling of the ship - The anchors, sails, cables, baggage, etc. That is, everything that was not indispensable to its preservation, for it seems still Act 27:29 that they retained some of their anchors on board.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

19, 20. cast out with our own hands--passengers and crew together. the tackling of the ship--whatever they could do without that carried weight. This further effort to lighten the ship seems to show that it was now in a leaking condition, as will presently appear more evident.
