Também com este significado:

Head-rope = That part of a bolt-rope which terminates any sail on the upper edge to which it is fastened.

Neste caso, a tradução será \"escota\"

A frase, como está (while the others loosed the ship\'s headropes) pode significar a perda das amarras ou das escotas...

Mas, com o verbo \"loosed\" (folgar) inclino-me definitivamente para \"escotas\".
