Hammock Cranes & Netting

Hammock cranes were specialized devices used on sailing ships to store and suspend hammocks, providing sleeping quarters for the crew. These cranes were typically located in the lower decks or designated areas of the ship. They consisted of a sturdy wooden or metal frame with a pulley system that allowed hammocks to be raised and secured in place. The primary purpose of hammock cranes was to maximize the use of space and provide comfortable sleeping arrangements for the crew. By utilizing vertical space, hammock cranes allowed multiple hammocks to be suspended one above the other, creating a compact and efficient sleeping area. The pulley system facilitated the raising and lowering of the hammocks, enabling easy access and adjustment for the crew members. Hammock cranes were an essential part of the crew’s living quarters, providing a practical and organized solution for sleeping arrangements on board the ship.
