SKELETON COAST
by John H Marsh

Wooden block

This ships' pulley block that Maureen Schoeman retrieved from the ships' graveyard
is made entirely of wood, even to the axle. It has been estimated to be nearly 500 years old
and possibly to have been part of the equipment of one of the very first ships to travel this way.
