Wring, to strain. A barge is said to wring when she changes her shape slightly through lying on uneven ground. When a vessel begins to move perceptibly, without actually floating, on the in-coming tide the fisherman says, ‘She’s wringing.’ This is only a special sense, of course, of the old intransitive verb ‘to wring,’ meaning to writhe or twist.
