The bowline is an ancient and simple knot used to form a fixed loop at the end of a rope. Easy to tie and untie; most notably after being subjected to a load. The bowline is sometimes referred to as king of the knots because of its importance. Its origins trace back to knots found in the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Khufu on the rigging of his solar ship.
