Commander Walker would have referred John to the Admiralty Manual of Seamanship, 1926 Edition, Volume One. Which, by the way, can be obtained inexpensively and is very sound on knots, splices and boatwork.

Should you wish to know the origins of the Union Flag, the entire series of bosun's calls, and how to ammunition a Royal Sovereign class battleship, it will tell you that, too..
