  Sailor's luck
  Sailors used to be very superstitious –both ashore and afloat. Wives must remember that “Wash upon sailing day, and you will wash your man away”, and must also be careful to smash any eggshells before they dispose of them, to prevent their being used by evil spirits as craft in which to put to sea and cause storms.
  Luck was brought by: 
  - tattoos
  - a gold ear-ring worn in the left ear
  - a piece of coal carried
  - a cat on the ship

  Nautical customs
  Various shipboard ceremonies were observed and maintained religiously: at Christmas a tree would be lashed to the top of the mast. At midnight as New Year’s Eve becomes New Year’s Day the ship’s bell is rung eight times for the old year and eight times for the new.
  “Burying the Dead Horse” was a ceremony which was continued in merchant ships. Musical accompaniment was provided by the shanty
