manila rope
Dock line material
Manila rope is rope made from manila hemp, a fiber derived from a species of banana plant native to the Philippines.
Strong, durable, and resistant to saltwater, it was long the standard for marine and industrial use before synthetic ropes became common.
The old sailing ship's rigging was all manila rope.
