Three knots?

Let me see, there's a running bowline. (That's when the cut outs dash onto the fo'c'sle head to rig a towing hawser when we run out of bunkers.)

Then there's a rolling hitch, (when we have to heave to in a beam sea.)

And then there's the sheepshank, (that's an older version of a lamb shank.)

No?

Well, I tried.

Perhaps Sir William knows more than three knots.

(This was a quiz, wasn't it?)
