Bronson72, here is the basic mooring line arrangement, as I recall.
Also, as was mentioned previously, you need to place camels (floating platforms) between the ship and the quay (pronounced 'key'), and between the ship and the other ship, in the area of the crossed lines i.e. one forward and one aft.
"Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay?"
Hi Bronson72!
Welcome to our forums. As a former Mariner I would clarify for you if you don't mind. The Word you are looking for is Quay, the other would be Mole. Both used around or in harbors to allow the Moorage of ships.
bronson72 could you guys send me pics of battleships tied to a moor quarry like the ships in battleship row. i am making a battleship row diorama and i need pics to show were the ropes were attached to the boat going to the moore quarry.

I think you mean "quay". Try a web search, and the Ships forum.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Try searching individual battleship names. This tour site of the USS Wisconsin has a couple of images.

Kinda small to get the details of the lines,
Bow chock to bollard on fwd quay, stern chock to bollard on aft quay
Second bow line through chock a bit aft to bollard on aft quay. Second aft line through chock a bit fwd to bollard on fwd quay.
Youve made an X and secured fore & aft movement. Now lines from middle, adjacent to quays, to bollards on the quays. This secures away movement. Camels on the quays prevent damage when rubbing against the quay
Yes welcome aboard
Hey bronson, first of all, welcome to FSM! As far as an answer to your question goes, I'd suggest posting in the Ships forum. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to answer your question(s) there.
Good luck and welcome!
