Ship Salvage:

 
ROPE BUMPERS, WOOD BUOYS, DAY SHAPES,
CARGO NETS, FISHING NETS, LINE (ROPE) & CRAB POTS / LOBSTER TRAPS
Used to prevent damage to boats and ships, rope fenders (or bumpers) were placed between the vessel and dock during an approach.  Many of today's docks and bridge bases, as well as vessels such as tugboats, reuse old tires mounted as permanent fenders. 

Ours are all salvaged but lots of
of new production versions have been popping up in fashionable home designs all along the coast.  These make great outdoor ottomans or door stops!

Day markers / day shapes (iron, willow / cane, netted)
Mast head signals that serve a similar purposes to that of navigational lights when communicating status of the vessel (at anchor, aground, maneuvering, etc)
but used during the day... They are shaped as balls, cylinders and diamonds and hung from the mast in specific sequence;
larger sizes are used for proportionally larger vessels.  Great for yard art or home nautical decor.
