Rod says that the thinner ones don't have the chains, just the hook on one end and an eye on the other, rather like 18 pdr ones but the eye is not leather lined.

There were two ropes of the 18 pdr vintage, the heavy one in 3" rope which was 30 ft long and the light one in 2" rope and 15 ft 6" long.

The picture I mentioned above of the thinner ropes might indeed show these as I can't see any evidence of the chains. Not saying they are not there, just that you can't see them.

Looking forward to what you find Rob.
