Knot Board History

In the days of sailing ships, sailors had to be rope-tying experts. For the safety of the ship and crew, knots needed to be correctly tied. On a fully rigged ship, several miles of rigging incorporated thousands of knots. There was a different knot for every chore. Tying knots became a craft in itself carried out during long months at sea. Knot boards served as useful training references as well as object of pride.

Our knot boards are not only informative; they include a select combination of authentic knots from “The Ashley Book of Knots.” Our designers use hemp or nylon rope and seize with thread to replicate the exact materials and methods used by seamen past and present. Each knot is identified with a brass plate. Once tied, the knots are displayed in a shadow box frame. All knot boards are sealed to preserve and protect the inner items. They are finally carefully packed and mailed directly to your front door.

A great addition to your home or office, our knot boards are the perfect old-world nautical accent!
