Loggerhead (tool)
A loggerhead is a type of tool consisting of a ball or bulb (for example, of iron) which would be heated up attached to a long handle. Used to heat or melt solids and solidified liquids, it was formerly a fairly common tool. For example, loggerheads were used by shipbuilders to melt pitch.[1] Although not its intended purpose, it was also used in American taverns in the 17th and 18th centuries in the making of the then popular mixed drink flip.[1]
