At Copenhagen in 1801, Nelson was signalled to break off the attack. Blind in one eye, he raised the telescope to it and said, "I really do not see the signal." He fought on and won. Insubordination dressed as bad eyesight, and the phrase has meant choosing not to see ever since.

Jason Nangle is on the people element panel at in Singapore.

The panel is taking on both sides, ship and shore.

The similarities, differences and challenges each side faces.

And what is actually working for the employers who are winning people.

🌊🤢 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀. "𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿!"

On crowded sailing ships, anyone struck seasick rushed to be sick over the rail. Before they let go they bellowed "watch under" to warn the souls at the portholes below. Said often enough, "watch under" slurred into "chunder". Etymologists doubt it, but every queasy passenger knew the drill.

"Jason, she's the best hire I've ever made. Never gives up."
BEN LINE said the same about a mess steward.
It took them 19 weeks to find out.
P**n Lim, Hainan, China.

⚓️

DAY 1, 23 November 1942.
SS Benlomond was sunk by a German U-boat in the Atlantic.
Gone in two minutes.

Fifty-four aboard. Only one survived.
P**n Lim got onto an eight-foot raft with 2 weeks of stores.
Spoiler… he was on it alone for 133 days.

⚓️

So he made his own kit:
🔦 A fish hook from the spring in his torch
🪢 A line from unravelled h**p rope
🔩 A bigger hook from a nail prised out of the deck
🥫 A knife ground from a pemmican tin

DAY 60+
He caught seagulls, salted them in seawater and dried them.
He even caught a shark, clubbed it to death with his water tin.
He drank rainwater out of his own life jacket.

⚓️

Ships saw him and kept going.
He always believed they took him for a Japanese sailor.

⚓️

DAY 133, 5 April 1943.
Drifted 750 miles when fishermen found him nine miles off land.
King George VI gave him the British Empire Medal.
Ben Line gave him a gold watch.

He applied to the US Navy, who turned him down for having flat feet.

Bottom rank to top. Retired in 1983 as Chief Steward.

Coincidentally, Ben Line sold their last vessels the year after he died.
More than 150 years of shipowning came to a close.
One of those was the Benlomond, built 1975, same name as the ship he went down in.

Nobody has beaten 133 days since.

Tag or share to a Ben Line Group employee…
Very curious if they know this story. 🤔

In a Massachusetts shipyard, inspector James Kilroy chalked "Kilroy was here" on the rivets he had checked, so riveters were not paid twice. The mark got sealed inside warships. Troops kept finding it in compartments no one could reach. Soon it was scrawled across the whole war.

I look up.
Blue fire is dancing on the mast. 😳
Every hand goes silent. We count the flames.

⚓️

Enter Castor and Pollux. Twin brothers, and Greek demigods the sailors believed watched over them.

Two lights meant both had turned up.
The storm was ending. 😮‍💨

One light meant their sister, Helen, had come instead.
Get ready for a rough night. 😬

Christianity arrived.
The gods changed.
The glow didn’t.

They called it St Elmo's Fire.

Today, we know it as corona discharge.

Not fire. Not lightning.

Cold plasma, hissing off anything pointed when the air is loaded and the sky is about to go berserk.

A client called our shortlist "A1" this week… "pure class."

He had no idea he was quoting a 1700s ship surveyor. ⚓️

So where does "A1" come from?

In the 1680s, merchants at Edward Lloyd’s coffee house created Lloyd’s Register to survey ships.

Every vessel was graded:
🚢 A letter for the hull (A, E, I, O, U)
⚓️ A number for the gear (1, 2, 3)

A1 = First class hull. First class gear. The best ship money could insure.

By 1837, the term jumped ashore into Dickens’ Pickwick Papers. Soon, the public adopted it for anything best in class.

Eventually, other nations built their own registers (Bureau Veritas, ABS, DNV, ClassNK), but "A1" stuck.

It was never a boast. It was a survey. Someone checked the bilges.

🌅⚓ 𝗨𝗽. 𝗢𝘂𝘁. 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲.

Long before alarm clocks, "rise and shine" was a barked reveille on the lower deck and the parade ground. "Rise" turned you out of your hammock. "Shine" meant look lively and put a shine on your boots and brass. The services drilled it into every recruit, and it has been waking the rest of us ever since.

Made an offer to a brilliant candidate last week.

Dream hire for the client. Everyone thrilled.

Then the counteroffer landed.

The promise of more money. A fancier title.

"We can't lose you"...

That pull... an offer too sweet to refuse, and too costly to accept. It has a name.

Sailors called it a siren song.

⚓️

In Homer's Odyssey, the Sirens sang so sweetly, sailors steered straight onto the rocks.

Only Odysseus survived. Tied to the mast.

The phrase “Siren song” was born. Then…

1819, a French scientist built a machine that made noise to measure pitch.

He named it after the Sirens. The alarms and foghorns came later…

Same word. Opposite job.
