Knots, a Study of Marlinespike Seamanship Which Embraces Bends, Hitches, Ties, Fastenings and Splices and Their Practical Application

Published in 1918, this illustrated book contains a trove of information about nautical knots. The author, A.F. Aldridge, notes in his Preface: "The study of knots is always fascinating. To twist ropes so that they will hold and not break is an art that comes natural to the sailor and the amateur will watch him in wonder as he does his work." (10.5 MiB, PDF, 163 pages)
