A seaâ€"mile is oneâ€"sixtieth part of a degree.

By counting the number of knots which have passed overboard in the time, the speed of the ship is known Thus, if ten knots have run out the ship is travelling at ten kea miles per hour. A sailor says she is "doing ten knots." The error is seen if we look at the origin of the word. _ The speed at which a ship is moving is ascertained by "heaving the log." A "log" (speâ€" cially shaped, is thrown over the siern. To the log is attached a line. Upon this line at equal distances are knots. The distance between any two knots is the distance the ship would move if travelling at the rate of one sea mile per hour during, say, thirty seconds of time. Properly speaking, a knot is not a measure of distance at all; a knot is a measure of speed. Giving the word its only proper meaning, to say a ship does so many "knots per hour" is just as silly as saying a motor dWoes sc many "miles an bhour per hour." What a sailor means by a knot is one sea mile per hour. What is a sea mile and what is a knot? Most people call a sea mile a krot and vice versa. In fact, so usual bhas this practice bcecome that even modern dictionaries and reference books make the same statement. This means that we give the word knot two totally different meanings, which is awkward, not to say foolish.
