The Lobster-Buoy Hitch is very secure knot, but very underrated! According to Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute; it is a very secure hitch, "would be useful, if it were better known, on a variety of occasions." Ashley's Book of Knots 1714 "The Lobster Buoy Hitch was shown to me years ago by John B. Cornell, of Cuttyhunk, who used it for about every purpose and claimed it was particularly good to tie to timber. As the chief industry of Cuttyhunk was wrecking, I value his opinion highly on such a point. The knot is tied tightly around the standing part and then is slipped along the rope snugly into place."
Maybe we could start a revolution and spread the word about the qualities of the Lobster-Buoy Hitch?
