Y'know, I might just include that. In my nautical collection as well as the
possible nobn-nautical collection.

By the way, The Noose knot actually has an application beyond it's
association with capital punishment - it is basically a lasso with
it's many applications.

If you are doing a nautical/historical knot board (something that I
always wanted to do, but "things" got in the way) you might want to
consider the Dropper Knot of which there are a ton of variations, the
most popular being the Blood Loop Dropper. Another which dates back
to the 16th Century is the Cat's Paw, the Anchor Bend whose use is
obvious and origin unknown, the Water Knot which goes all the way back
to the 15th Century and finally, the most practical of ancient knots,
The Splice - which is a knot.

Have fun with your project.
