The Art of Tying Sailor Knots

If you liked tying sailor knots, you might enjoy E. Annie Proulx's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Shipping News, which is interwoven with the art of tying knots.

The website, Animated Knots, has a section on "Boating" which offers how-to illustrations. Animated Knots by Grog (TM) has a slogan, "Better to know a knot and not need it, than need a knot and not know it."
