Blue riband
| Морской словарь |
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.)

Blue paint, английский
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.”
