A Walkers Knot Master Log  is a vintage maritime instrument used to measure a ship's distance traveled, a type of taffrail log made by Thos. Walker & Son Ltd.. The "KDO" is a specific model within the Knotmaster series, designed as a more up-to-date version with a conical-shaped body and thinner log line compared to older models like the Excelsior. These logs have a dial to register distance and operate by a rotator or impeller that is towed behind the ship, with the "knot" in the name likely referencing the unit of speed for sailing vessels.
