The Ropewalk
The Ropewalk is a quarter beyond Cambridge's East Gate, given over to rope compounds and ballast sheds that stand under the White Masts. Mooring crews work there, and lines painted on the ground show where a man may safely stand while cable is handled. Ropewalk work in Britannia is known for tar, hemp and hard hands, and the trade here supplies the shipping and mooring needs that the town's waterside and quays rely on.
