Description
Triple deadeyes and lanyards on HM Bark Endeavour while moored in Hobart, Tasmania for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2019.
A deadeye is an item used in the standing and running rigging of traditional sailing ships. It is a smallish round thick wooden disc with one or more holes through it, perpendicular to the plane of the disc. Single and triple-hole deadeyes are most commonly seen. The three-holed blocks were called deadeyes because the position of the three holes resemble the eye and nose sockets of a sheep's skull.
