Deadeye
Wooden, usually large, disks through which holes allow the passage of thin ropes or lanyards. The number of holes is generally three, but may be less, particularly in the case of the heart which has a single eye, serrated at the bottom to gripe the lanyard. The deadeye is used as a block connected to the shrouds or chainplates and is called 'dead' due to the lack of a sheave.
