If you fall off a ship, it keeps going — about 10 metres every second. A simple U-turn won't bring it back to you: the turning circle is hundreds of metres wide. So officers use the Williamson turn: hard rudder toward the person's side (swinging the stern and propeller away), 60° off course, then hard rudder the other way. The ship loops around and comes back along its own wake, heading straight to the person — even when nobody can see them. Named after John Williamson, who used it in 1943.
