Knots: Nooses Loops & Moorings 101 - Series
Nothing is more interesting to a landsman than the manner in which a sailor handles huge, dripping hawsers or cables and with a few deft turns
makes them fast to a pierhead or spile, in such a way that the ship's winches, warping the huge structure to or from the dock, do not cause the slightest give or slip to the rope and yet, a moment later, with a few quick motions, the line is cast off, tightened up anew, or paid out as required.
Contents:
Waterman's Knot.
Larks' Heads with Nooses.
Cleat and Wharf Ties.
Bowline
Knots.
Loops and Loop Knots.
