Apart fro these, nothing aboard n ship is technically a rope." A landsman may call them ropes, but then a landsman thinks mostly that a "best is a mail and a bend a knot.

Next time you happen to see a sailing ship try the question, on a friend, and let him waste few minutes in trying to estimate the number of lifts, and buat- lines, and clew-lines, and braces.
He will never guess that there are only fire ropes among the lot of them.
