Is this a camel or something else?

With reference to this picture people keep coming with a plea for the idea of ship cable (kamilon instead of kamelon). Köbert¹ assumes that a type of ship’s rope was sometimes referred to as the camel and that in this way the word camel got a double meaning (1. camel, 2. (shipping term) cable rope). Yet it is better to think of the camel as an animal. This animal really goes through openings, whereas a ship’s cable usually does not stick through openings and that it is being done by others (and not the camel).²
