• Monkey fists originated as a maritime knot used on sailing ships. Sailors tied the knot around a heavy object to create a weighted end for heaving lines.
• The knot is called a "monkey fist" because its rounded shape and protruding loops resemble a clenched monkey's paw.
• The weighted knot made it easier for sailors to throw a line over long distances, allowing them to pass ropes from ship to ship or from ship to shore for docking or mooring.
• The knot's association with sailors and maritime life has made it a symbol of strength, resilience, and resourcefulness.
• Monkey fists have become a hallmark of seamanship, often used as a badge of honor for those who master knot-tying skills.
