BELAYING PINS It was originally thought that these "quick release" wooden/brass fastening pins for securing the running ends of the running rigging appeared in the mid-17th century. However, belaying pins were found during the excavation of the Mary Rose, sunk in 1545, indicating that they were used at least 100 years earlier. MS-0412B- 5MM -BRASS –$ 26.00/150-PK.

SHIP’S BELL The bell was the focal point of the ship's daily routine. A 24 hour day was divided into five 4 hour "watches," plus two 2 hour "dog watches" between 4 and 8 p.m. Each watch was timed with a half hour sand glass. The first time the glass was turned, the bell was struck once. The second time, the bell was stuck twice and so on to eight "bells", denoting the end of the watch. MS-0424 -9MM - $ 6.00/2-PK. MS-0426 -6.5MM - $ 6.00/2-PK. |
