Detailed explanation-1: -Sailors and pirates tended to be very superstitious-that is, they had a fear of the unknown and used it to explain misfortune (bad things that happened). Living and working on a ship in the middle of the seven seas was a very dangerous job.
Detailed explanation-2: -For sailors in full uniform, it is considered good luck to touch one’s collar while on the water. Boating lore tells us that saints can be a great source of help during dangerous situations on the water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Boating Myth #2: No Bananas on Board One of the more unusual nautical superstitions that still persists today is that bananas are bad luck to bring aboard a ship, especially a fishing vessel. This belief allegedly began during the 1700s, when many trading ships disappeared while sailing between the Caribbean and Spain.
