Bosun's (Kringle) Mat:
Modeled after the Scandinavian pretzel shaped pastry, the Kringle or Bosun's Mat was used to impress the Admirals in the late 1890's through the late 1930's.
The Bosun's Mat would have originally been made with natural fiber line such as Hemp or Manila and the ships excess mooring line would have been flemished (pictured below) on top of the mat.
A French chemist by the name of Count Hilaire de Chardonnet invented the first synthetic rope known as Rayon or "Artificial Silk" which would change the face of rope forever! It wasn't until late 1931 that a man named Wallace Carothers invented the "Miracle Fiber" known as nylon (still the favorite and most widely used rope today)
