When rope comes on board a ship it is then referred to as line, but there is one place on ship where it is still referred to as a rope. Do you know where it is?

A line put along the deck in bad weather for sailors to hold onto when moving about the deck

We also use wire rope on the oceanographic winches.
A bold shore is one in which the bottom falls away quickly and thus may be closely approached.
