Seafarers

They had lovely voices, much clearer than any mortal, and when a storm was rising, and they expected ships to be wrecked, they would sing in the most seductive strains of the wonders of the deep, bidding the seafarers have no fear of them.

Liverpudlians are more often known as Scousers, a reference to a cheap stew eaten by the city's seafarers in the 19th century.

Dingoes are thought to have arrived in Australia with Asian seafarers about 3,500 years ago.

If you were a sailor before the invention of modern navigational equipment, lighthouses were treasured beacons for wandering seafarers. They once dotted U.S. coastlines. But with advances in navigation equipment, lighthouses have become obsolete and many are no longer used for navigational purposes by major shipping traffic. Many lighthouses are threatened by changes in geography due to erosion and natural disasters, are vandalized, or are in desperate need of repair.
