Help Identifying some standing rigging

but what about the ladder just behind the mast he shows in the picture?

 

[El Capi]

I can! I have a few thousand photos I've scraped from dozens of sources. I don't have a single "smoking gun" photo to reinforce my assessment here, but I have a few that a more clear than others. I was, by the way, a bit mistaken about the tackle pendants being lashed to the shrouds. I was working off a quote from Jean Boudriot's 74 gun ship treatise, which says they are typically "stored inboard of the shrouds". I'm not sure how I misconstrued that as having anything to do with lashing. but I have this nice pair of photos which capture both a clear view of a descending tackle pendant *and* (albeit rather occluded) the main top preventer stay. I'll attach them twice below, each once unedited, and once with my highlights.

you can see the tackle pendant fitted to a triple block, which is consistent with every description I've found of them on a ship of this size, and to the right you can see the considerably less substantial preventer stay reeving through a single block, proceeding down and abaft the foremast, and you can also see the turns of the "rattling" (or whatever that is) along it.

If you're curious why I seem fixated on the replica (which I'll admit, is not 100% accurate) Ill say I'm a relative newcomer to studying this material, and it's a lot to take in. seeing these complex arrangement in full scale really helps me. and while the replica deviates in many small particulars, it's usually close enough to help me make sense of what I'm reading about from primary sources. and I'm also curious about *why* it deviates from traditional rigging. the people who built this ship were certainly as passionate as anyone here, I'd wager, so I'm curious about what the rationale behind the changes is.

SOME INFO IS ON ITS WAY. It seems that it is a problem for many, so it may be an idea to add to SOS, but as I have been away for some - Health - I have forgotten where to add it in SOS.
To those who don't know me, I have been building wooden ships, starting (as a Dane) with Billing Boat fishing trawler. Since 1973, I have been going to scale -the 1st one naturally, Victory (far away in quality as of today). It was not laser-cut. nr. 2 was my preferred build: Norske love - this 1st one was as Victory, NO laser-cut, and the fittings were all in very bad condition. I built one of the 1st laser/cut models later on. It was, in fact, a gift from Mr Billings' son for the help I gave them in finding a distributor in Spain. I came to Spain in 1978 and have been here since.
I have since then built more than 30 Models -some of them are somewhere in the library of SOS.
Coming back to the Standing riggen it is part of the enjoyment of building. I learned it the hard way, as I had two uncles, who both, when young, were sailing in one of the clipper ships, one to Australia, the other to Argentina, so when they came around and saw my badly rigged ships, I got a hard lesson/ thanks to Carl og Soren Madsen.
Part of my standing riggen was published on a Billing Boat side, but it is not up to date, as their page only allows Billing Boats' models.
I have been building ships since about the year 2000,/ helt problems and space. Have Terry bites af images, drawings, etc.
I have made them up to explain the Building from A/Z, they are all free, just ask.
Below is a very short version. I was born in the Northern part of Jutland, facing the Skagerrak

Hi, is this it?

 

[paul ron]

attached is a view of the foremast of L'Hermione, and the rigging in question are the two cords running parallel directly down the rear of the mast, which are lashed together (I hesitate to say Rattled down

no, the ladder circled in green just behind the mast.
