Seagoing Knots

FRANK ROSENOW

Here are all the knots any boatman—whether
sailor, powerboat owner, fisherman, or
merchant seaman—will ever need. Frank
Rosenow’s brilliant drawings explain, with a
clarity that is art itself, how the knots are
tied. He then shows each knot in action with
drawings that explain how it is used.
