DESCRIPTION:From the mid-17th century to the end of the 19th century\, th
 e rope-making industry thrived in Boston. Ropewalks&mdash\;long\, narrow
  plots with covered walks and sheds that housed rope-making facilities&m
 dash\;dotted the landscape of West Boston and supplied rope primarily fo
 r seafaring vessels. The city&rsquo\;s earlier ropewalk lay less than on
 e hundred yards from the West End Museum. Ropewalks of the West End high
 lights the history of these unusual buildings beginning with the earlies
 t &ldquo\;ropefield&rdquo\; of John Harrison established in 1642 and con
 tinuing beyond the onset of the War of 1812 when a West End ropewalk sup
 plied the anchor cable to the U.S.S. Constitution\, the most famous war 
 ship of the era. Concurrent walking tours that start in the West End and
  fan out across the city offer the opportunity to discover firsthand the
  remnants of the ropewalks&rsquo\; footprints on Boston.
