Jparsley Posted May 31, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2015 Ok I may have missed a post based on this but forgive me if I have How far down a shroud should you seize your rope or do you seize the entire one Thanks for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted May 31, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2015 As always: it may depend on your ship and the period concerned. As far as I know, the part around the masttop,is always seized, asis the part that is turned around the deadeyes. In many countries/periods, the most forward shroud is seized over its full length, but as always, there are exceptions. Jan druxey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted June 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 1, 2015 The foremost fore and main shrouds would have been served all over. The others would be served along the middle ¼ of the pair's overall length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted June 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted June 1, 2015 Are you asking about seizing or serving, Jeff? The Constelltion does have some long seizings from the deadeyes up. If you go here: http://www.blogstaugustinelighthouse.org/blog/08JUN05_USSConstlln_070.jpg It looks like they go up 4 ratlines or 6 feet at full-size.
