Stevedore’s Knot
The Stevedore's Knot is a stopper knot, often tied near the end of a rope. As the name suggests, the knot was used by stevedores in their work loading and unloading ships. To raise and lower cargo they used large blocks and these required a larger stopper knot to prevent the line from running completely through the block Classification: Stopper. Structure: The Stevedore's Knot is essentially a Figure Eight Knot with an additional round turn around the standing part before the working end is passed back through the initial loop. Strength/Reliability: The Stevedore's Knot is more bulky and less prone to jamming than the closely related Figure Eight Knot, and remains secure even when slack.
