The document discusses the history of women at sea and superstitions surrounding women on boats. It notes that historically women were seen as bad luck on boats but that some cultures believed naked women could calm storms. It outlines the roles women began taking on ships in the late 19th/early 20th centuries as domestic workers and matrons. Today, around 1-2% of the over 1 million seafarers are women, with more common in cruise lines. The document advocates for improving conditions for women at sea through policies against harassment and ensuring equal opportunities.

Tom Russell regularly races sailboats, not by owning one himself but by crewing on other people's boats. He finds racing stimulating and has made many friends through sailing. With a little effort, anyone can find a boat to crew on through their local yacht club - most owners are happy to have additional crew who are enthusiastic and willing to learn. Russell details how he got started crewing, describing initial races that showed him the camaraderie of sailing. He provides tips for finding boats to crew on, such as checking club websites, message boards, or speaking to the racing chair. Commitment typically involves racing once a week, and the time spent on the water helps clear one's mind of daily worries.

Synopsis of “The Open Boat”

“The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane is a short story about four men: a cook, a correspondent, an oiler, and a captain who are trapped in a lifeboat in stormy seas. They are off the coast of Florida and stuck in the lifeboat because their ship sank. They eventually see the light from a lighthouse, so they know they are close to land. The waves near the shoreline are too rough for them to land safely and they do not want to risk their lives. There are people on the shoreline who see the men and wave for them to come to shore, but the sea is too treacherous. The men are hopeful the people who saw them from shore will send a bigger boat to rescue them, and they make the decision to row further out to sea where it will hopefully be calmer.
4
They continue on for two nights taking turns rowing and resting. When they are unsure if they will all survive, they exchange addresses just in case. Upon realizing there may be no rescue, the captain decides they should risk steering the boat to shore and they mentally prepare to swim, if, and when, the lifeboat capsizes. This is exactly what happens, and when the lifeboat turns over the four men start swimming for their lives. The captain, the correspondent and the cook miraculously make it to shore, but then realize the oiler, the strongest of them all, did not make it. The men listen to the waves smashing against the shore into the night, and they finally understand the power of the sea. The sea is strong enough to take a life and does so indiscriminately.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. SUPERSTITION AT SEA
Since the first rudimentary vessel was placed on the ocean’s
surface, seafarers have developed and observed a stringent set
of myths and superstitions. Here are just a few of the many
maritime superstitions.
Bananas, have no place at sea. Since the 1700’s, it has been
widely believed that having a banana on board was an omen of
disaster.
Friday is the worst possible day to start a journey on a boat and
no enterprise can succeed which commences on that day.
AND THE MOST POPULAR SUPERSTITION İS “A Woman on
Board is Bad Luck”. While having a woman on board would
anger the sea, having a “naked” woman on board would calm the
sea.
05/06/12 2
3. A WOMAN ON BOARD İS BAD LUCK!
This is why many vessels have a figure of a woman on the bow
of the ship, this figure almost always being bare-breasted. It
was believed that a woman’s bare breasts would “shame” the
stormy seas into calm. Alas, the ancient power of female nudity.
In Suzanne Stark's book 'Female Tars' she tells
of an example in the middle ages when sailors
gave in to this fear with horrible consequences.
At the height of a storm off the coast of
Cornwall, panicking men in a fleet of ships
began to throw their female passengers to
the sea. Over sixty women were drowned in
this way in the hope of appeasing the storm and
saving themselves. It failed to work and the
majority of men, including their commander, Sir
John Arundel, died.

4. THE EARLY DAYS OF WOMEN AT SEA
Before the 1600’s when a ship To be the wife of a sailor in
came into port, women went to the age of sail was a hard

the ship put to sea again. Many usually stayed at home
officials noted that ships waiting for meagre wages
became overrun with women. that were often extremely
late. Wives of men from the

with their husbands, could
expect a harsh and

company of men. the muster.
05/06/12 4
5. WOMEN IN SERVICE ON LINERS
The growth of commercial liners and the
increase in voyages across the Atlantic
gave women their first opportunity to
forge a career at sea.(1980’s) At first the
domestic staff that sailed were in the direct
employ of female passengers, who would
not be waited on by men.
Then when the numbers of poor women emigrants increased
there was a greater need for female staff to guard their physical
and moral well-being. These female crewmembers were called
‘Ship’s Matrons’ at a low grade and ‘Conductress’ if they
were of higher status.
Women weren't always welcome on board ships, even when
working in what were traditionally seen as 'women's roles'.
05/06/12 5
6. The range of opportunities for women at sea was not to change
for many years to come. Well into the twentieth century
women were still working in domestic roles; it took women a
long time to break into clerical positions and from there to
challenge men’s work in every area on board.
TAKING OVER COMMAND
Today’s ships are technologically very
advanced and the oceans are safe to
operate. The adventurous instincts of
women to face challenges at sea are a
growing phenomenon and the
shipping industry has to adjust and
adapt. It has been reported that in the
male dominated sea, they are put to
confront severe discrimination.
05/06/12 6
7. The discrimination begins at
the Maritime Education &
Training Institutes where the
faculty expresses doubts on
women’s capability to
withstand the vagaries at sea.
Thereby, They are always
subjected to endurance test and
are required to prove their
physical ability.
At last years, some institutes from different countries are
giving special chances for women colleguies. For
example, When The ITU Maritime Faculty in Turkey was
opening its doors to women, it had set up a special quota
unless limiting score.

and expressing support for the Organization’s aims of
promoting the training of women in the maritime sector,
DESIRING to achieve equal access for men and women to

.1. to give special consideration to
securing equal access by men and
women in all sectors of the
maritime industry;
.2. to highlight the role of women
in the seafaring profession and to
promote their greater participation
in maritime training and at all

11. THE SHIP’S MASTER (FOR MEN)
A Captain has responsibilities to the
crew, ship, cargo and voyage from the
port of embarkation to the port of
disembarkation. He has the authority to
initiate prudent action to protect the vessel
and save it from hazard and to call upon all
persons onboard to render assistance in an
emergency, failure to render such
assistance constitute a crime. The Master is
a 'father like figure' onboard, who is
required to lead, look after, guide and
support the crew.
THESE DEFITIONS ARE MOST FOR MEN, BUT WOMEN
CAPTAIN’S CAN DO THIS JOB AS GOOD AS MEN.

12. IT‘S ALL ABOUT LEADERSHIP
As a master of ship he/she must have the characteristics of a
leader, which are written below:
Honesty Fair-minded
Competent Broad-minded
Forward-looking Courageous
Inspiring Straightforward
Intelligent Imaginative
A number of the characteristics of a leader fall into a greater
category that many of the leading executives of today refer to
as Emotional Intelligence. Achieving this level of leadership
will inspire those around you and lead your teams to great
heights.

13. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF
WOMEN
If women are proficient in these competencies, their higher
emotional intelligence scores might reduce the
discrimination they face during attempts to rise in
management positions, and instead advertise women as
skilled leaders.
However, this could become possible if the organization takes
proactive decision and formulates policies, which promote
participation and progress of women.
The first question arises as to whether the organizations, in
which females are working for, are treating them equal and
giving them their rights.

14. The action, to ensure the women
managers function as effectively as their
male counterparts do, is to provide
women who already have basic
leadership traits with additional
management skills and tools that will
contribute to enhanced performance. The
good news regarding emotional forms of
intelligence is that they can be easily
learned, therefore, organizations could
specifically keep training programs for
enhancing the EI competency so that
women could climb the ladder to high
positions.

15. Since progressive organizations aim to hire the best talent,
both men and women, they should recognize that women face
a tougher challenge than men do after they join the male
dominated organization. Training, educating, and nurturing
women mangers will ensure their accelerated growth after
they have become comfortable in the workplace.
In addition to, improving the
corporate environment by
removing barriers that exist for
women but not for men. Glass
ceiling for women managers is an
attitudinal hurdle. Organizations
need to provide same challenging
assignment to women, as men,
which will tax them, stretch their
potential, and provide a learning

16. EMPLOYED WOMEN ON BOARD
Women represent only 1-2 per cent of the world's 1.25 million
seafarers.
In the cruise line sector, they represent 17-18% of the workforce.
94% of women are employed on passenger ships (with 68% on
ferries and 26% on cruise ships) and 6% are employed on cargo
vessels (i.e., container ships, oil tankers, etc.).
As for jobs, there are women shipmasters and chief engineers,
as well as other officers. Women are working as hotel staff on
passenger ships.Of this latter group, 51.2% of women at sea
come from OECD countries, 23.6% from Eastern Europe, 9.8%
from Latin America and Africa, 13.7% from the Far East, and
1.7% from south Asia and the Middle East.

17. IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR WOMAN
The maritime community has parts: companies, trade unions,
seafarers' welfare organizations, and others.
Companies could try to place new recruits aboard vessels
with women officers.
Sexual harassment policies are important.
Trade unions should take up these matters and other issues.
Improving conditions of women at sea is also related to improving
conditions of work for all seafarers. In this regard, the ILO is in the
process of consolidating its many maritime labour Conventions
into a single, consolidated standard. At the national level, and at
the company level, there should be increased emphasis on
improving shipboard conditions.

18. VIEWS OF THE WOMEN ON WATER
According to some of the women interviewed for the study, those
days of balmy working conditions may be some time off.Women
seafarers reported comments like their place being "in the
kitchen" rather than on deck, that women weren't suited for the
sea because they "all argue with each other" (as if men don't!),
being told "blonde jokes" or given the worst, dirtiest jobs.
"The lads I was sailing with spent about four months doing those
awful jobs, and then they were up on the bridge in a clean
environment," said one woman who spoke about being tested to
see if she had the "right stuff" for the job.They will push a
woman a lot, lot harder."
Some women reported taking drastic measures to avoid being
harassed, including altering or "de-feminizing" their
appearance (one woman engineer actually shaved her
head!).Another cited how she had to punch a chief officer to get
him out of her room.

Editor's Notes
Therefore they did not receive any rations or sleeping space, they had to share their men's food and hammocks.
Initially they were employed by emigration societies, only later finding work with the shipping companies when the trade increased. Generally Conductresses were expected to take charge of the moral welfare of the charges particularly those of a higher social class, with the Matron responsible for the physical work (cleaning and acting as lady’s maid ) and the third class passengers. Life at sea for a woman still courted controversy. They…. (women)
The women are not joining the seafaring trade just for leisure or a decent salary. Few of these aspirants are poised to take over command at sea. women are made to exert more than their male colleagues in field tasks.
If the crew co-operates, supports and assists him, realizing the sword that is hanging over his head, it will be a happy ship.
The biggest obstacle to any corporate change is the reluctance of leaders to see the need for this change.
When an organization acknowledges and accepts that women should be full participants in the management of the organization, implementing a solution is neither difficult nor expensive.
