Though its simplicity and security are matched by many other bends, it is unique in the ease with which it is untied, even after heavy loading. It is also referred to as a "Rosendahl bend", both names stemming from its use to moor [[airship]]s (''Zeppelin'' being a synonym for airship, and [[Charles E. Rosendahl|Charles ''Rosendahl'']] being the airship captain who popularized this bend by insisting it be used to moor his craft). | ||
