Knots are the distinctive
art Of the sailor and are
the meeting OF modern skill
and ancient tradition.
Primitive man knew sone-
thing o. simple knotting. and in
China and Egypt 1000 years
ago were first seen some OF
the common knots used today.
Ancient Greeks and Romans
first devised legends concern
ing knots that wounds healed
better when the bsndages were
tied with the square or reef
knot. and especially blessed
mariners were capable OF pos
sessing charmed pieces Of rope
tied In three knots that pro-
duced either a breeze or a half
gale or a hurricane as each was
united.
Centuries ago the Incss es-
tsblished an intricate system OF
mathematics based upon the
relative kinds and positions Of
various knots made in Irvine.
In the Middle Ages knots
played an important part in
the eosts-of-arms and other
heraldic symbols of knights and
royalty.
Knots are properly divided
into several classlfications such
as bitches, bends, lashlngs,
settings, whipplngs, shorten
ings, shoppers, bowlings, splices
and the vast group Of pure or
naments. Nobody seems to
know the origin Of their indivi-
dual names. many Of which have
no apparent meaning what
ever.
We have noted that the best
seamen are rather proud Of
their knotting ability, and many
