The Great "Big Rope" Carry 200 Years Later-- Part 3: Jaime Brockett's Rope Story

I came across a video of the "Big Rope" carry on WWNY TV 7.  Worth watching "200 Years Since the Great Cable Carry."

But, technically, both the article and the video referred to the American warship as a battleship which we didn't have until the end of the century.  It was a frigate, more along the lines of a cruiser.  Ships-of-the-line were that eras "battleships."   Just saying. 

Also, with all this rope talk, I can't help but be reminded of that classic 8-minute-long Jaime Brockett song "The Ballad of the USS Titanic."  In this he explains the role that 298 and a half feet of rope had in the sinking of the Titanic.  If you've never heard it before, go to You Tube.
