We all started liking the pic, as it is incredible that you do these lashings in this scale, but that's not an answer to your question. I can only refer to Lees and Marqhuardt: they don't show these lashings. That does suggest that it is of a later period... (although, as you seem to be looking at a way to get as many knots in a line as possible, that is not the answer you are looking for ) Jan

Problem is that all those old pictures are coloured nowadays. I'm pretty sure this is a WW-I hospital ship. (couple of yesr ago we had all those red-white ships in the game at MSW-1) Jan

Copied from the 'monumentenarchief' Beschrijving Standbeeld van Michiel de Ruyter met twee bronzen scheepskanonnen Standbeeld van Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter. (1841) door L. Royer. Hierbij opgesteld twee bronzen scheepskanonnen, gegoten respectievelijk 1617 en 1622. (which states that the guns next to Statue of De Ruyter are original ones, cast in 1617 and 1622, cast in bronze) The others are dating back to the French time I guess. (at least, they look very much like the French guns in fortresses of Den Helder and Texel. (shorter guns, thicker walls, and no decorations at all.) Jan

True, but compared to that guy with his hammock, he needs a little step to get the line belayed at the top. That's what made me wonder. Jan (PS still quoting Marquardt ? )
