    Article 29, of the articles of War, probably tells why it didn't catch on. [ see post 4]

    If any person in the fleet shall commit the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery and sodomy with man or beast, he shall be punished with death by the sentence of a court martial.

    The holy water would have been contained in the upturned ship's bell and sprinkled or poured over your head.

    Yes - forgot that - ships having a bell is also a tradition from the past - fulfils no real purpose on a modern ship - just used to gong at colours - again another ceremonial tradition from the past.

    Add that may crew babies names are engraved in many ships Bells. A yank example even recently


    All my ships had a list of kids names and dates. HMAS Paramatta 111 ships bell show its list. As Bosuns Mate polishing the Bell along side during the middle watch (the GUTS watch) or others, I always had a look at the names inside the ships sparkling brass bell

    So short names are preferable, Tom, Bob, Ed etc?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
