Q

Which is an example of a messenger?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Messenger as used in line-handling and mooring operations • Difference between a light line used to haul a heavier line and permanent rigging/fixtures • Typical gear used to pass mooring lines or towing lines ashore or between vessels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which item is specifically used as a small, easily-thrown line to pull a heavier line? • Which options are actually parts of the ship’s standing rigging or deck fittings, rather than a temporary handling line? • Think about what you would throw to a pier or another vessel first, before sending over the main mooring or towing line.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a small, light line used to haul a bigger one • Eliminate any items that are fixed fittings or structural parts rather than loose gear • Confirm which option is commonly used to pass mooring or towing lines from ship to shore or ship to ship
