Blocks - Wood

Blocks were pivotal components of rigging systems on old sailing ships, consisting of a pulley enclosed within a frame. They facilitated the movement and control of ropes and lines, serving tasks like hoisting sails and adjusting rigging. Blocks multiplied mechanical advantage and reduced friction, making it easier to manipulate heavy loads and maneuver the ship. Crafted from wood or metal, blocks played a vital role in enhancing the ship’s control and efficiency on the seas. Wooden Ship Model Fittings Wooden Blocks come in brown, yellow and fawn.
