Cinder Spires Books / Please help a stranger: Windlass meaning!

Hi, just started reading "The Aeronaut's Windlass" and I like it! But I'm not English mother language, so I have troubles sometimes. One is about terms like "Windlass", that I know as a machine for rising anchors or heavy bag in ships. I cannot imagine why the ship is defined a "Windlass." Thank you.
