Sapper Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello All Picked up a copy of The Oxford Companion To Ships & The Sea in a charity shop yesterday. Almost 1,000 pages of marine interest and great to just dip in when you have a few minutes to spare. (£2.00) Having suddenly realised that my rope work skills were dying I bought The Directory of Knots by John Shaw from Amazon for the vast price of 1 Penny plus Postage and am now brushing up on my Knots. Whilst on the subject of knots, the Swedish Bottlers site have a couple of interesting gadgets for tying Turks Heads. Look under tools.

exwafoo Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 The Oxford Companion To Ships & The Sea was one of the first reference books I bought. I replaced it later with a new copy - still not expensive for a book like that. Definitely worth having on the shelf.
