Cable

Picture of an elevation wedge

Ship's cable have been surprisingly well preserved. Sadly economy prevents us from preserving but the most well-preserved. Numerous samples are taken from the cable that is re-deposited, though. These samples show all the different knots, braids, splices and whippings encountered.

This massive roll of cable has been found in trench 2, what might have been the frigate's cable stores.
