Depends on application, and TL. When my Dad took me by the fire boats for L.A. harbor, 3" rope was standard for mooring to the dock, and they had 4" rope as well. Pre-inexpensive chain production eras there will be a lot more thicker rope use. Natural hemp type rope also tends to be thicker than synthetic rope for the same weight rating.
