Explaining Past on Instagram: "Sailors in 1913 used rope lighters to start fires on ships where wind made matches useless. The lighter held a slow-burning rope made from hemp or cotton. A flint wheel created sparks that caught the rope’s end. The glowing ember lit pipes, lamps, or stoves. The rope could be pulled in and out to control the burn. This tool was simple, reusable, and worked even in storms. It shows how sailors used smart design to solve daily problems at sea."
