The Ashley Book of Knots and The Art of Rigging

16 Nov 19:

A little light reading, picked up a copy of The Ashley Book of Knots, needed to check a reference for some knots. Quite comprehensive, Clifford Ashley was a man of many talents. Interestingly enough, he did all of the illustrations except for the cover.



Also scored a copy of The Art of Rigging, by Captain George Biddlecombe, also comprehensive and a good reference for square rig sailors and ship modelers.




Cheers
Clark and Skipper
