Nautical knots and ropework come under a craft referred to as marlinspike seamanship. This craft covers first the necessary knots, hitches, bends, splices, and whipping that need to be learned to maintain a sailing ship, or even a small sailboat. In addition, most sailor's agree that ornamental ropework is a part of this as well, as sailors often have time to practice this at sea, and many different useful designs can be made. A short list of some of the knots and such that must be learned (you will find a use for every one of these on a sailing ship!) as a part of this craft is - Single Hitch, Half Hitch, Cleat Hitch, Bale Sling, Clove Hitch, Rolling Hitch, Overhand Knot (Common Knot), Marlinspike Hitch (Slip Knot), Constrictor Knot, Angler's Bend (Fisherman's Knot), Figure Eight Knot, Reef Bend, Bowline, Bowline on a Bight, Sheet Bend, Anchor Bend, Carrick Bend, Eye Spice, Long Splice, Short Splice, Double Braid Splice, Turk's Head, and Whipping.
