Already from the construction of the shipyard, a rope course was built. The sailing warships of the time required large quantities of rope of various dimensions, ranging from rough ropes to ropes and twine.
To extend the durability of the ropes, they were usually tarred, but the durability was limited. Therefore, roping was a constant work in progress.
The roping course was 320 meters long and the beating took place under the open sky.
There has probably been more than one rope course on Vämö over time. See the maps below.
Today, we believe that it was located where we are walking, i.e. on Näktergalstigen.
When the yard was moved to Trossö in 1683-1684, the ropeslayer track on Vämö remained, but was no longer run by "Kungen" but was in civilian ownership.
The ropes course at Lindholmen dates from 1690. It is Sweden's longest wooden building (300 m).
Documents exist to show that C.A. Isberg received a plot of land to construct a "repair lane" at the old shipyard on Vämö.
In 1772 this was leased out.
1813-1819 new site for ropes course.
In 1855 and 1915 it was rebuilt into a road.
