Generally speaking, rope is cordage of greater than one-inch circumference. The term has often been abused, as a piece of rope when put to use on a vessel becomes a line, in most cases. Among the relatively few ropes, properly speaking, are bolt ropes, foot ropes, bell ropes, bucket ropes, man ropes, yard ropes, back ropes and top ropes.
