In the days of sailing ships, sailors had to be rope-tying experts, for the
safety of the ship and crew could depend upon whether
a knot was correctly tied. On a fully rigged ship, serveral
miles of rigging incorporated thousands of knots. There
was a different knot for every chore, from the simple
hitch to the most ornate Turk's Head. Tying knots became
a craft in itself carried out during long months at
sea.
There are 85 of the most representative and beautiful
knots in the left and right.you can click the knot name
and get more details. All of them have been used in
some of our nautical gifts: decor life ring, lighthouse,
