Описание: Ahoy there! Set sail with us as we dive into the mysterious and fascinating world of sailor superstitions! For centuries, mariners have relied on more than just charts and compasses—they’ve carried with them a rich collection of rituals, beliefs, and taboos to help guide their ships and protect their lives at sea.

In this video, we uncover the origins and meanings behind some of the most enduring maritime superstitions. Why were bananas considered bad luck on board? Why should you never whistle on a ship or start a voyage on a Friday? And what’s the story behind the feared “Jonah”—the unfortunate soul thought to bring disaster to any vessel?

We also explore rituals meant to bring good fortune, like touching wood for protection and the positive symbolism of dolphins guiding sailors through rough waters. From the ominous warning of “red sky in the morning” to the taboo of renaming a ship, these traditions reveal the deep-rooted respect sailors have always had for the unpredictable sea.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a landlubber curious about life on the ocean, this journey through maritime lore offers a glimpse into the fears, hopes, and customs that shaped generations of seafarers.
