Model Expo - 15mm Boxwood Deadeye 40 pcs

Model Shipways Deadeye, 15mm Boxwood 40 pack

The use of deadeyes and lanyards in setting up a ship's standing rigging may date from Roman times or earlier. During the Middle Ages, deadeyes were triangular. The solid deadeye is stronger than a pulley block, yet the lanyard can be taken up as needed to eliminate slack in the standing rigging.
