Making ropes requires manual tools, which make it much simpler

Beautiful work.

Is the recent production going smoothly? I am keeping an eye on it

 

[fj3131030]

The current production progress requires me to carefully study the size and specifications of the pulley

At present, to be honest, I find making ropes a bit boring

f there is no ship name, how can sailors determine that it is their own serving ship in a large port? This is a problem. During World War I in Germany, each main ship had its own emblem, which helped crew members identify their own ship.

I know this reply is long past due but here goes. If there are 20 children all dressed in the same school uniform and come running out at the end of the school day, it is not hard to spot the one you are looking for even if they do not have a name tag pinned on. Can you spot someone you know in the middle of a crowd? Same thing. No two ships were exactly alike and more than likely there were no more than three or four of the same class and rate at the same anchorage or docks at the same time. Having no name on the stern was to avoid giving unnecessary information to the enemy.
