Yesterday we asked, what is a “carrick bend” and where did the term originate?
The carrick bend is a knot used for joining two lines. It is particularly appropriate for very heavy rope or cable that is too large and stiff to easily be formed into other common bends. It will not jam even after carrying a significant load or being soaked with water. The Carrick bend’s aesthetically pleasing interwoven and symmetrical shape has also made it popular for decorative purposes. This knot’s name dates back to at least 1783 when it was used by M. Lescallier in Vocabulaire des Termes de Marine.
