About the Author

The late Eric C. Fry was brought up in the West Country among the old ketches and fishing boats. His knotting skills were thoroughly tested during his time in the Merchant Navy, as a part-time fireman, and as Second Cox'n of Barry Dock No. 1 Lifeboat. A self-employed Consulting Engineer and Surveyor, he had long experience of structural engineering, rigging and heavy lifting, and his aim in writing this book was to pass on to a younger generation the knowledge he had gleaned over half a century.
