Bright work refers to the polished brass and varnished woodwork found on ships and yachts. This term highlights the importance of maintaining these elements to a high shine in order to keep the vessel looking its best.
For instance, while preparing a historic sailing ship for a regatta, the crew meticulously cleaned and polished the bright work to ensure it gleamed in the sun during the race.
