rope spinning building
This is the longest building at the seaport - the ropes are stretched out before they are spooled or coiled. When they are spinning the spooled cords that you see, one person held the hemp wool, and walked backwards as the other person spun the cord on a very large spinning wheel. They said the walking person averaged 8 miles a day!

Welcome Darryl,
I was very interested in the rope making process. I've done lots of macrame, and learning to do the twist in my daughters' long hair gave me an understanding of how and why you have to twist it and stretch it.
It was cool visually, too!
