Thank you very much for taking the time to upload these wonderful seamanship and knotting books to the IGKT forum.
To me, these books are much more than manuals about ropework. They preserve the knowledge, craftsmanship, and history of how so much of our world was built with ropes. Ships, bridges, exploration, rescue, construction, and everyday life all depended on the intelligence and skill of those who understood rope.
Reading these books also brings a special feeling. They connect us with the people who came before us and remind us that a simple rope, in the right hands, helped shape history.
Thank you for preserving and sharing this valuable knowledge with all of us. It is truly appreciated.
