  • Rope

    Anyone got a source for historic rope? The chandler that I bought several hundred feet of marline rope from some years ago has stopped stocking it and doesn't have a source to order it from.

    Re: Rope

    Do you want "rope, line or cordage"? A circumference or dia. of your wants would help.
    Also, what do you consider as historical or appropriate material?
    I will be more than pleased to share what I have, if you e-mail me. I am not allowed to post non approved vendors on the AC forum.

            You may also try Turkey Foot Trading Co.

            Their focus seems to be on Fur Trading era merchandise so, hopefully the mods will let this one pass.

              By 1850, the US Navy had replaced most hemp line with manila line. Tractor Supply has several different sizes of manila.
