Ropes and boats
View allAll Photos Tagged ropes
It has been awhile since I've posted a rope photo. Anyone following me knows I love photographing its texture, colour, and unique characteristics. I always feel like it has an interesting history and a story to tell.
This one was set up as a barrier on the side of a cliff that dropped straight into our frigid Atlantic. Bet it has seen some pretty spectacular waves, sunrises, and no doubt, chilly, chilly days!

Rigging is divided into two classes, standing, which supports the mast (and bowsprit), and running, which controls the orientation of the sails and their degree of reefing. Configurations differ for each type of rigging, between fore-and-aft rigged vessels and square-rigged vessels.

A line of rigging ropes tied at the edge of the HMS Discovery, with the iconic Dundee V&A Museum behind, echoing the shape of a ship.
