Description
Brown’s Knots and Splices is a traditional handbook on ropework, written by a seaman for seamen. It provides the reader with a starting point for learning and reviewing knots and splices that are part of classic seamanship.
The illustrations make the book suitable for use alongside practice. It is suitable for apprentices and sailors, and for anyone who wishes to preserve maritime craft skills through practical work.
The book can be used as a small reference in a professional library or as a supplement to teaching. For load-bearing use and modern rope constructions, the technique must always be evaluated against the rope manufacturer’s recommendations and the requirements for the connection.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. ISBN: 9780851744513.
