DECK FIXTURES



The ship's boat mounted in the cradle.

Often, this boat would have been towed behind the ship rather than being stowed on board.





The boat's cradle and oars. 
The tiller rudder and anchor.









Two water pumps.

The ship's windlass.... used like a winch mechanism to lift heavy loads, using block and tackle.  There are eight of those long poles which crewmen would push against, winding up the cable attached to the load.


Barrels and buckets.

These bits were used to attach (belay) the rigging lines on deck. 

Note, the scale of these belaying pins seen here are slightly over sized.
