I didn't want to learn something had happened to you or find you had just disappeared!!!

[DocWard]

Actually, that is exactly what I thought you meant!

I can imagine a sailor getting a badge when he has learned all of them, something like when a submariner earns his dolphins.

That's a heck of a lot of line locations to remember! Wow

I seem to recall there was a primer or method for learning the lines and knowing what lines were for what reason. It was something we were told in Naval History classes in Boot Camp.
