KNOTS, BENDS, SPLICES,
WITH TABLES OF STRENGTHS OF ROPES, ETC., AND WIRE RIGGING. BY CAPTAIN JUTSUM, CARDIFF.
Revised and Enlarged. [COPYRIGHT. GLASGOW: The Nautical Press, JAMES BROWN & SON, NAUTICAL AND ENGINEERING PUBLISHERS. 1914
INTRODUCTION. The object of this little work is to present in a compact form and
systematic order a complete list of all the most useful and important
workings connected with Cordage, and a lucid explanation of their
various formations. The explanations of some of the elementary knots have been gone into
with what a practical seaman of even short experience may consider
almost unnecessary minuteness, but the aim throughout has been to
render the work of value to those who approach the subject for the
first time. To attain this end, diagrams are introduced at every stage, and if
followed closely step by step, in conjunction with the text referring
to them, the learner should have no difficulty in following their
construction. At the same time he must remember that proficiency in what is really
skilled workmanship, amounting almost to an art, can only be gained by
much practice and perseverance, and should gladly avail himself of any
advice or help he may be able to obtain from his more experienced
ship mates. J. NETHERCLIFT JUTSUM.
