Lines, Lines, and more Lines

Ropes on a ship are called lines, sails are called sheets, bathrooms are heads, etc. It was fun learning new vocabulary. I was fascinated by the existence and importance of the many varied lies. Color, placement, pulleys, crank-gear-things, ways of handling excess rope which quickly disappears when a sail changes position, all of these make lines perhaps one of the most important aspects of sailing equipment and knowledge. These are just a portion of images I took of them over the course of the 10 days.
Thanks for putting my first diving pelican on TT - more to come!
That's a lot of line. Great composition

Good grief, how on earth does anyone know where all those lines go and what they do. Well beyond me.

What a mind boggling number of colours, types and uses of ropes - it must take a lot of practice to be able to use them effortlessly! It makes such an interesting collage. :0

Nice collection

Great idea to set up the collage of lines! each one has a name but I find it's easier to say " pull the red one."
October 27th, 2019  
What a cool way to make collage. Never thought about all the lines and pulley systems boats use.

I love what you have done with these photos of lines -- so many, each different, and undoubtedly of varying functions. Conveys it well.
