Question about Shroud Deadeye Lanyards

[Roger Pellett]

So, the question is: Was this the way that the French rigged deadeyes in the period when Hermoine was built or was this an expedient by the modern day crew?

Considering the overall expense of the project, it would seem unlikely that her crew would use some juty rigged solution. We must have members with a collection of Ancre books who can answer this question.

Ive got the Ancre book and monographs for Hermione and it's a bit light on specifics. it also differs notably from the reproduction in a number of ways. Some subtle, like the distribution of belaying points. Some of them are pretty big, the monograph had a full Lateen rear mizzen sail, the reproduction has a gaff rigged spanker
