Corkline

Double corklines, one right-hand lay and one left-hand lay to prevent twisting, were used on all gill nets.

The porpoise safety panel shall consist of small mesh webbing not to exceed ¼" stretch mesh extending downward from the corkline and the base of the porpoise apron to a minimum depth equivalent to two strips of 100 meshes of 4¼" stretch mesh webbing.

The hold was empty, without a net, corkline, leadline or buoy to be found.
