So you don't fall out
There are loops of rope all round a lifeboat, which is for people to hang on to if they are in the water.
a davit is a rope that keeps the lifeboaats attached to the side of the ship.
When a crate is hanging from a rope that is attached, the force of gravity pulls the crate downward while the tension in the rope supports the weight of the crate.
A bellpull is a rope which hangs to a bell, or a handle which is attached to a rope which rings a bell.
The tension in the rope at that point is the force pulling in opposite directions at the point where the rope is being held or attached.
Line is a nautical term for a rope. But a rope can be a line attached on only one end in normal use. The bell rope, the bucket rope, the tiller rope, the bolt rope, check rope, foot rope, monkey rope, and the dip rope.
A lifeboat sometimes has a block of zinc attached to its hull to act as a sacrificial anode. This zinc block helps prevent galvanic corrosion, which can occur when two different metals are in contact with saltwater. By corroding preferentially, the zinc protects the more critical metal components of the lifeboat's hull, extending its lifespan and ensuring safety during use.
About 224 feet I believe.

As long as the other end of the rope is not attached to anything, the horse can walk (or run) over to the hay.
A lifebelt has a rope attached to ensure that it can be easily retrieved after being thrown to someone in distress. The rope allows rescuers to pull the person back to safety without risking their own safety by entering the water. Additionally, it helps keep the lifebelt within reach, making it more effective during emergencies. The attached rope also aids in stabilizing the lifebelt, providing better support for the person using it.
The reaction force to you pulling on a rope is the tension force exerted by the rope in the opposite direction. This tension force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force you apply to the rope.
A hawser. A cable. A painter. A spring. Probably others.
