Hey all, I’m doing some research out of curiosity and I’m curious if the invention of the hammock can be found? I know it came about as a way for sailors to sleep without the constant rocking, but I was wondering if there is any documentation about them.
Nope. The Spanish sailors copied the hammock from the American Indians who would hang it between trees. Funny how the Indians had the right idea but no ships and the sailors had ships but never thought of the hammock.
This is about all I could find, ronin. As sailor said, hammocks were used by C.A. Indians and later used by sailors.
