Explanation:
"tamp" is the Danish expression for the end of a rope. It's a technical term and is mainly used by seamen and sailors. "Tamp" can also mean a big strapping fellow, but I gather it's not used so much anymore as it used to be.
"Splidsning" is an old form of "splejsning" It means joining by splicing (of ropes, cables, wires etc.)
