A roadstead is a body of water sheltered from rip currents, spring tides
or ocean swell where ships can lie with reasonable safety at anchor. A
roadstead can be an area of safe anchorage for ships waiting to enter a port
(or to form a convoy); if sufficiently sheltered and convenient it can be used
for transhipment (or transfer to and from shore by lighters) of goods and
stores or troops.
