Knot: The term knot is used worldwide to denote one's speed through water and means the number of nautical miles per hour. One nautical mile is equal to 1852 meters or 1.15 statute miles. The term comes from the method of using a rope or line marked with knots at even intervals to measure the boats speed. At one end of the line there would be a log or some other type of sea anchor that was thrown over from the stern.
