Here we see Captain Jack Sparrow's wife checking all of the Mast Roping to make sure the Black Pearl is ready to sail. Kinda looks like she might be afraid to come down :-)

During the 19th century sailing barges became the most important cargo vessels on the Blackwater and east coast rivers and would generally ply their trade along the east coast to London.
These vessels with their tan sails would carry hay, straw and grain up to the capital to feed the growing numbers of horses that were used. In return they would bring manure and used straw back to Essex. These cargoes were generally referred to as 'London mixture'.
At the height of their popularity around 1860, there were over 5,000 sailing barges along the east coast between Kent and Essex. Today, there are no more than 35 of these vessels left and probably no more than 25 in sailing condition.
I drew up schematics ahead of time so that I'd have some idea how everything went together. All wiring and connectors are marine grade and tinned. I labeled all the wires and kept a list so I can easily tell what they're all for. This is something I HIGHLY recommend.

There are only two lines on a sailing ship that have the word rope in their names. The lines in the photo are Halyards and Sheets. The ropes are, "Foot Rope" (what a sailor stands on when they are up in the rigging tending the sails) and the "Bell Rope", (attached to the ship's bell clapper)
