Model Expo - 5/8" (16mm) Walnut Belaying Pin 40 pcs

Model Shipways Belaying Pins, Walnut 5/8 (16mm) 40 pack

It was originally thought that these "quick release" wooden fastening pins for securing the running ends of the running rigging appeared in the mid-17th century. However, Belaying Pins were found during the excavation of the Mary Rose, sunk in 1545, indicating that they were used at least 100 years earlier.
