Blue paint
| Морской словарь |
During 17th century, being attacked by “blue devils” (possibly derived from the leaping blue flames of burning brimstone) described a bout of despondency or despair. later, the expression was abbreviated and “blue” as a stand-alone adjective implied melancholy. hence, when a sailing ship returned to its home port after a long voyage, it was customary to give people on shore advance notice of the death of the captain or a mate by flying a blue flag and, often, painting a blue stripe along both sides of the hull. if the dead man was especially loved by the crew, they would carry the stripe around the bow and over the figurehead (which had powerful significance for seamen). the practice has long since died out, but the concept of blue being the color of depression lives on when people who are sad say “i’m feeling blue” or afro-americans sing “the blues.”

Figurehead, английский
- An ornamental carved and painted figure on the stem of the vessel.
- A symbolic image at the head of a traditional sailing ship or early steamer.
- Носовая фигура
- A carved wooden sculpture that decorates the prows of a ship. the custom originated in antiquity. minoan, phoenician, greek, and roman craft carried carved idols (acrostolia) with prominent oculi on the bows, believing on the one hand that the eyes would guide the ship and, on the other, that the god depicted would protect the vessel and its crew from the many perils of seafaring. vikings and normans carved their upturned stems of their longships into the likenesses of serpents and dragons, hoping to intimidate and terrify their enemies. in 13th century europe, a swan figurehead was supposed to help the ship glide gracefully over the water. by this time, seafarers had turned their backs on idol worship, but remained fiercely superstitious, going to great lengths to protect their figureheads which many believed contained the spirit of the vessel, ready to protect them from the perils of the deep and guide them safely to their destination. they firmly believed any harm to the icon would bring disaster to the ship. (see figurehead lore.) during the middle ages, oculi and figureheads were eclipsed by the installation of forecastle fighting platforms, but the tradition died hard and figureheads were back by the tudor era. earlier, they had been mounted, or carved directly, on the ship’s stem but with the forecastle overhanging the bow they were 115 figurehead repositioned below the bowsprit. throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, lions were greatly favored figureheads, but by the 18th they tended to be replaced by classical or mythological figures usually representing the name of the ship, and often the head and torso of a warrior or a partially naked female. whether the sculpture was full-length, cut off at the waist, a headand- shoulders bust, or a mere ornament (billethead, fiddlehead, or scrollhead) depended to a large extent on the design of the bow and proportions of the vessel. but, whatever size it was, its eyes continued to be a prominent and important feature, remaining in fashion until the arrival of iron hulls. by the turn of the 19th century figureheads had become so large and elaborate that they were not only extremely expensive, but were easily damaged in accidents and deteriorated by the weather. the admiralty first restricted their size (along with the amount of other carved decoration) and officially abolished them in 1840, but they did not disappear completely until the advent of ironclad warships some twenty years later. figureheads could be seen on merchantmen into the early 20th century, and can still be seen on some private yachts and cruise ships.

Blue riband, английский
The concept of honoring the fastest average speed achieved during an atlantic crossing arose on 18th april 1838 when sirius averaged 8.03 knots, only to be beaten next day by great western at 8.66 knots (gw had set sail four days after sirius, but arrived only four hours later). the media interest in this quasi-race led a group of shipping magnates to decide that it would be excellent public relations to give the passenger liner making the fastest crossing the unique distinction of flying a large blue ribbon as a pendant on her mainmast. crossing times rapidly diminished, as can be seen in the following table showing the dates and vessels first exceeding selected speeds: during the late 19th and early 20th century winning this privilege became a matter of intense national pride and rivalry, but it lost its significance with the arrival of mass air transport and has not been officially awarded since 1952. (see also hales trophy.)
