I always thought a knot was 1mph at the equator, but it varied at other latitudes.
However, from the other answers it seems i'm wrong and its a fixed formulea.
No wonder I couldn't find the Caribean when i was out in my Narrowboat last year.

50 knots = 50 mph. A knot is the nautical way of saying 1mph.
