Walking under a ladder aboard ship insured bad luck! Breaking a mirror guaranteed 7 years of bad luck and whistling was verboten! When Ursula came aboard the QSMV Dominion Monarch, she was taught this lesson in a most emphatic way! “What could best be described as an “old-salt,” was in charge when they were on the open deck of the ship. Apparently his job was to look out for the passengers’ safety, and he was a friendly sort. Talking about the lure of the sea, he explained to the children that they were never to whistle aboard any ship, for to do so would invoke the Gods and cause a terrible storm to toss them around. Being only 6 years old, Ursula hung on to his every word and explained that she didn’t know how to whistle. Laughing, he said that he would teach her, which he did. She became convinced that she could indeed “whistle up a storm,” one which never came!” To this day Ursula believes this and throws a little salt over her shoulder if she spills any…. Yes, seafarers are still a superstitious lot!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker, \"Suppressed I Rise" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker-suppressed-i-rise/seafarers-of-yore-were-superstitious-lot-and-paid-a-great-deal-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/410/captain-hank-bracker-suppresse_bad-luck_seafarers-of-yore-were-superstitious-lot_2758751.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/410/captain-hank-bracker-suppresse_bad-luck_seafarers-of-yore-were-superstitious-lot_2758751.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/410/captain-hank-bracker-suppresse_bad-luck_seafarers-of-yore-were-superstitious-lot_2758751.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Seafarers of yore were superstitious lot and paid a great deal of attention not to invoke the ire of the…” — Captain Hank Bracker, \"Suppressed I Rise", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/seafarers/captain-hank-bracker-suppressed-i-rise/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/seafarers/captain-hank-bracker-suppressed-i-rise/", "name": "Seafarers Quotes by Captain Hank Bracker, \"Suppressed I Rise", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/seafarers/captain-hank-bracker-suppressed-i-rise/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/410/captain-hank-bracker-suppresse_bad-luck_seafarers-of-yore-were-superstitious-lot_2758751.jpg" }, "description": "1 Seafarers quotes by Captain Hank Bracker, \"Suppressed I Rise.
