Unit Definition (knot) The Knot is common unit of velocity or speed, which is mostly referred to at sea as a measurement of boat, wind or water current velocity. One Knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour. The word comes from a former method of measuring a ship's speed, which used a knotted cord called the log line.
