swingboats
Rocking carnival vessels
Swingboats are boat-shaped fairground rides that swing back and forth like pendulums.
Riders sit facing each other and pull ropes to increase the arc of the swing.
The term is primarily British: We rode the swingboats at the village fête.
Also called swing boats or, in American English, pirate ships.
