Description: | Riggers were employed by the Port of London Authority (PLA) to make and maintain ropes, cargo slings, nets and fenders. PLA rope was made from hemp, sisal and manila and had a green identifying band running through the middle. There were rigger's workshops in all the docks. A rigger working at the Royal Docks used this pricker. The pointed end would have been used to open up the ropes when splicing. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1950-1965 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
