did anyone look at the sheep shank knot they say should never be used because it fails under loads with modern rope

That's when you should tie a Portugese (sp?) Sheep Shank. You probably won't find that one in your knot tieing book. I learned it from a guy who ran the launch service (small outrigger)from the tanker I worked on to the docks in Bahrain.
