English term or phrase: counter
Texto literário do séc.XIX
Parte ou local de um veleiro.
"Well, so far we had ridden the swells very cleverly; but presently a gigantic sea happened to take us right under the *counter*, and bore us with it as it rose --up --up --as if into the sky."

"My brother was at the stern, holding on to a large empty water-cask which had been securely lashed under the coop of the *counter*."

Não me parece que seja balcão ou bancada. Talvez haja um termo específico (Náutico).
Sugestões, please!

almeida, parte côncava da popa (de um navio)


Explanation:
COUNTER: ALMEIDA = parte côncava da popa de um navio

ALMEIDA = al.mei.da sf Náut (ár almayda)
Abertura ou vão, por onde entra a cana do leme, acima do cadaste; parte côncava da popa do navio. [Novo Michaelis online]

COUNTER - 5. Nautical. The portion of a ship's stern extending from the water line to the extreme outward swell. [American Heritage Dict]

ATENÇÃO PARA O TROCADILHO (INTENCIONAL?) que o autor pode ter querido fazer com "under the counter":
"- under the counter : by surreptitious means : in an illicit and private manner " - {Merriam Webster Online Dictionary}

"Well, so far we had ridden the swells very cleverly; but presently a gigantic sea happened to take us right under the *counter*, and bore us with it as it rose --up --up --as if into the sky."

"My brother was at the stern, holding on to a large empty water-cask which had been securely lashed under the coop of the *counter*."

"Bem, até então havíamos cavalgado as ondas com astúcia; mas presentemente um mar gigantesco conseguiu nos levar para debaixo da almeida (concavidade da popa do navio), carregando-nos com ela conforme subia - para cima, para cima - como se para dentro do céu".

"Meu irmão estava na popa, agarrado a um grande casco d'água vazio, que havia sido amarrado com segurança sob a gaiola da almeida".

Hope that helps, cheerS!
