Reptiles
| Морской словарь |
Seamen used to consider snakes, lizards, and other “creepy-crawly” animals dire omens at sea. the superstition seemed to be confirmed when, over time, the royal navy lost four vipers, four serpents, two snakes, two dragons, a lizard, a cobra, an adder, an alligator, and a crocodile. even today, ships are almost never given reptile names.
