Shipchandler is all one word whatever your spellcheck says. I know. I was one for many years. Also, Ropemaking is an ancient art... (an, not and). I hope you fix it and erase this note of my pedantry, before it gets in the Guide.

Ashley?? I don't know if this is a coincidence or if you are related - but there is a very famous book on knots called "The Ashley Book of Knots". It describes over 3800 knots. (I'm a sailor.)
Anyway - I like the article very much.
