sense n. A salvaging operation in which a sunken vessel is rotated by the application of leverage. I know the w:Costa Concordia is being raised by parbuckling, but I don't see any usage of parbuckling as a noun. This is just an example of the use of a parbuckle, admittedly an exceptionally large one, and all the cites I can see on gbooks are parbuckle being used either attributively or adjectively.

- I didn't find any cites for the plural parbucklings, nor for more|less|much|little parbuckling at Google Books, News, Scholar, or Groups. Other non-count determiners might work. DCDuring TALK 18:49, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
