June, 1925 MARINE REVIEW This actual photograph tells the story of the real strength that all Columbian Tape- Marked Pure Manila Rope possesses. It shows one of the mooring bitts pulled out of the deck of the S. S. Mars, an ore carrier, caught in a southerly storm while moored. The storm resolved itself into a hurricane of such violence that the Mars was driven onto the rocks, despite the fact that she was made fast to 12 mooring buoys and had out 2 anchors, each weighing 9,800 pounds. Steel cables used in mooring proved worthless and parted early in the storm. Every Columbian Tape-Marked line held, even pulling the strong, massive steel bitts from the vessel’s deck. This incident again proves the superiority of a Manila line, especially Columbian, over a wire line for mooring. Send for a sample of this Tape-Marked Rope.
