Rope

Aboard the HMS Warrior were several bundles and coils of thick rope, used for rigging or docking the ship at a port. A close-up photo like this allows the fine details of the rope to be appreciated where otherwise they might be overlooked – for example, how each strand is made up of many more smaller strands, all woven together. This photo was also taken using an iPhone camera, and I’m quite impressed at the clarity and level of detail.
