5 interesting insights about sailing myths: 1*Whistling Aboard* You absolutely cannot pucker your lips and *whistle* on deck; that's just begging the Sea Gods to hear the insolence and whip up a catastrophic, ship-smashing storm. It was a simple, pragmatic method of enforcing silence: if you weren't whistling for fun, you were whistling for the wind in the sails—a literal attempt to challenge the elements when the weather was too calm. *Bananas on Board* To carry a single, innocent-looking banana onto a fishing or trading vessel was to invite complete doom—from mysterious disappearances to a devastatingly empty net. Forget the tropical fruit curse; ripening bananas release ethylene gas that speeds up the spoilage of *all* other food, forcing crews to rush their voyage. The real threat was rotten food and starvation! *The Unlucky Redhead* Anyone with flaming crimson hair was a certified 'Jonah'—an immediate harbinger of bad luck whose very presence could sink the ship. The intense belief was so strong that if a sailor saw a redhead before boarding, they *had* to speak first to neutralize the terrible bad luck—a social anxiety nightmare on the docks. *Renaming a Vessel* You can never, under any circumstances, rename your beloved boat without a meticulous ceremony to trick the Sea God, Poseidon, who keeps a ledger of every ship. Poseidon's ledger is a clever fiction; the real danger was confusing official maritime records, insurance papers, and salvage contracts, thus creating administrative chaos and potential financial ruin. *Friday Sailings* Starting any voyage on a Friday was deemed an absolute guarantee of misfortune, so potent was the superstition that no true sailor would ever raise anchor on that day. The British Navy, in a legendary attempt to mock this superstition, built a vessel named *HMS Friday*, captained by a man named Friday, and sailed her out on a Friday—and she was never seen again.
