Authentic Models Steamer Tote BagSteamer Tote Bag When the wind increased in force, the crew was sent up the mast, running up the rope ladders called ‘shrouds’ half hanging over the long yards, balancing precariously high above a pitching and rolling deck, they hauled the mass of canvas up to secure it, or to lay a reef. A windjammer was described by the square yards of ‘canvas’ it carried. Canvas was what served the ship as sails, as tarps, and scraps of canvas were sewn by sailors into duffel bags. This leather handled tote bag is printed with compass rose designs and old steamer drawings. It will last forever, made from the original ‘canvas’ as it was made a hundred years ago. H. 66cm, 26". W. 46cm, 18" |
