  2. Nautical cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_cable

    Ordinary rope is not waterproof. When a ship anchors in relatively deep water (greater than about 35 metres or 20 fathoms), the anchor and rope that is let down becomes drenched with water, becoming prohibitively difficult to raise again, even with a mechanism like a capstan. This ultimately limits the depths available with ordinary rope to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fid

    A one-half-inch (12.7 mm) diameter rope would have any accompanying fid 10.5–11 in (266.7–279.4 mm) in length with hash-marks denoting the long and short fid measurements. A short fid is 1 ⁄ 3 a fid length and a long fid is 2 ⁄ 3 the overall fid length.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_gun

    The projectile for the 2 + 12-inch (64 mm) gun was 15 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (400 mm) long and weighed 19 pounds (8.6 kg). It was placed into the 24-inch-long (610 mm) gun barrel so the eye bolt with the line attached was sticking out. After firing, the projectile rotated so that the eye bolt and line were trailing. The gun had a large recoil ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

    Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey's_fist

    The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency's (MCA) publication "Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen", Section 25.3.2, states that "heaving lines should be constructed with a 'monkey’s fist' at one end. To prevent personal injury, the 'fist' should be made only with rope and should not contain added weighting materials". [2]

  7. Cable length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_length

    A cable's length (often "cable length" or just "cable") is simply the standard length in which cables came, which by 1555 had settled to around 100 fathoms (600 ft; 180 m) or 1 ⁄ 10 nautical mile (0.19 km; 0.12 mi). [1] Traditionally rope is made on long ropewalks, the length of which determines the maximum length of rope it is possible to make.
