Pilot ladder

(Zaule, Riva Alvise Cadamosto)

The pilot ladder (biscaggina o biscaglina in Italian) is a portable ladder consisting of two ropes between which are inserted sticks or planks that form the steps.
It serves primarily to embark and disembark the pilot when the ship is still offshore.

It is not there to help the commander of a ship flee from his sinking ship !!
