Color photo of the interior of a long, narrow wooden building, a 250 foot segment of 1000 foot 1824 ropewalk, used for spinning lengths of fiber into long ropes for sailing ships. Large wooden pillars about every ten feet divide the length of the room into two galleries. In the left gallery, strands of fiber are twisted to form rope by spinning them through a circular device. The right gallery is open for workers — and visitors to walk freely. Small figures of visitors are visible at the far end of the building. The ropewalk was moved to and restored at the Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic CT USA.
