Burial at sea
| Морской словарь |
In this simple but dignified ceremony the body is sewn into a canvas sheet or bag, traditionally the deceased’s own hammock. the sewer was formerly awarded one guinea for each corpse sewn up. the last stitch of the huge sailmaker’s needle tra- bully 58 ditionally goes through the nose of the corpse to ensure no spark of life remains—this practice probably originated in the early 1790s, when captain william hargood of hms hy?na, who had succumbed to a fever, was being prepared for burial, but came back to life when the needle accidentally pierced his nose. (hargood recovered to lead a distinguished career. at the battle of trafalgar, his ship hms belleisle fought on after being completely dismasted, leading nelson to exclaim “nobly done, hargood!” later, he became honorary colonel-commandant of the royal marines and naval commander in chief at plymouth.) heavy weights (originally cannonballs) are placed inside the bag to prevent the body from being raised to the surface by the gases of decomposition. the burial ship’s ensign and those of nearby vessels are halfmasted while the captain or chaplain reads the burial service. then the body is piped over the side as it slides gently from under an ensign draped over it. after the funeral it’s an rn custom for the masterat- arms or coxswain to auction off the decedent’s kit. (see personal effects disposal.)

- Strictly speaking, sea is the next large division of water after ocean, but in its special sense signifies only any large portion of the great mass of waters almost surrounded by land, as the black, the white, the baltic, the china, and the mediterranean seas, and in a general sense in contradistinction to land. by sailors the word is also variously applied. thus they say—“we shipped a heavy sea.” “there is a great sea on in the offing.” “the sea sets to the southward,” &c. hence a ship is said to head the sea when her course is opposed to the direction of the waves.—a long sea implies a uniform motion of long waves, the result of a steady continuance of the wind from nearly the same quarter.—a short sea is a confused motion of the waves when they run irregularly so as frequently to break over a vessel, caused by sudden changes of wind. the law claims for the crown wherever the sea flows to, and there the admiralty has jurisdiction; accordingly, no act can be done, no bridge can span a river so circumstanced without the sanction of the admiralty. it claims the fore-shore unless specially granted by charter otherwise, and the court of vice-admiralty has jurisdiction as to flotsam and jetsam on the fore-shore. but all crimes are subject to the laws, and are tried by the ordinary courts as within the body of a county, comprehended by the chord between two headlands where the distance does not exceed three miles from the shore. beyond that limit is “the sea, where high court of admiralty has jurisdiction, but where civil process cannot follow.”
