  • Great matey! I guess you are a real sailor. Good
    job I am proud of you. Sailors need to know how
    to tie a sheep shank. Sheep Shank is a knot that
    can shorten a rope with out cutting it.John
    Meares used these and many other knots as a
    sailor explored and traded furs with the Indian
    along the Oregon Coast. Meares named many places
    along the Oregon Coast that we know today.
