GGG Ping.
Someone forgot their rope....they’re going to be pi$$ed.
isn’t that some kind of hate crime?
Or possibly court martialed.
Any ideas on why this stuff was left in place like that? Gear and cordage like that had to be pretty expensive. Why would so much stuff just be abandoned?
That is a terrific find. I hope I catch the news on it when they determine what plant fiber was used.
Ping.
Might find some interesting sunken stuff offshore!
By the way, “Rodolfo Fattovich”. Doesn’t that translate as “Son of Fatt?”
Prehistoric Rapture.
I now know where to go if some doesn’t want to be hung with a new rope.
Maybe it was a pirate's lair?
It's part of a warehouse or shipyard. The buildings are gone and if they look around they might find some sign of them, but possibly not if they were just sitting on the ground. Docks, too.
One can only wonder what other treasures lie hidden in ancient caves.
Hemp was the traditional rope fiber during the heyday of Masted schooners.
