Now a days there are not many sailing ship left, for their place has been taken by steam-ships. And an old sailor would say that the crews who work on steamships are not sailor at all, and know nothing about sea man ship, or the management of ship.
Before steamers were invented, all ocean ships were sailing ships; that is, they were moved by the wind blowing their sails. There were different kind of ships. The biggest were ships and banquets, three-masted vessels; then two-masted ships, called schooners and brings. In the largest were called men-of-war; smaller but faster vessels were cruisers; and there were many more.
These ships differed not only in size and the number of their masts, but also in the number and shape of their sails, and their ropes that is, their rigging. And it took long experience for a sailor to know all these points, the names and uses of the hundreds of different ropes, and the dozens of different sails and how to furl and unfurl them, and when. The sailor, too, had to know the signs of the weather so that the might know when-storms were coming; and he had to study the charts, and to know where it was safe to go though this part of the work was the job of the captain and officers more than that of the common sailors.

A sailor’s life is a hard and rough one; and it is dangerous. We lands men have little idea what it must be to climb the tall masts in a storm to furl the sails, when the ship is rolling and pitching like a mad thing, the wind is icy cold, the rain is pouring down, and it is pitch dark.

There are no boundaries to his curiosity. He lives only to cross the next horizon, to set foot on the next continent. His shoes have trod the corners of life. We flourish in the secluded portions of his globe, and He retain experiences from every place he visit. His land has much to offer; many possibilities await him . Out at ocean , anything can happen; places exist that seems beyond the imagination, and there are people to meet who define kindness. He challenge us to immerse our selves in cultures and learn the traditions of his world.
Yet the sailor is a brave and jolly fellow. He often grumbles; but he loves the sea-life so much that he will not leave it. He sings.
“And white waves heaving high, my lads,
The good ship tight and free—
The word of waters is our home.
And merry men are we.”
