In 1889 Captain John Joshua Ward was in charge of a riverboat runnign past the lowlands off Pawley Island, South Carolina. He was very unhappy with the grass filled mattress that he had to sleep on so he set his mind on a better idea. He came up with rope hammocks tied with many comfortable knots with wooden spacers. The design caught on and is in use worldwide. This simple yet sturdy Pawleys Island design still bears the name of the island on which it was founded.
