TACKLING in Isa 33:23 means simply a ship's ropes; in Ac 27:19 it is used more generally of the whole gearing (Revised Version margin 'furniture').
Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.
and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
