whats a poor sailor?
where do poor sailors sometimes go
They were poor.
That's just what powerful governments do to poor citizens. -Just like the USA made thousands of poor or ill educated Americans go to Vietnam while the rich and well educated remained in US.
Why Sailors Go Wrong - 1928 was released on: USA: 25 March 1928
The sword often used by sailors is a cutlass, a curved sword.
NOT VERY OFTEN. The majority of them (men and women) in the UK are all fat knackers
My best guess is that it references the poor manners of sailors (to curse like a sailor). The quarterdeck is part of an old sailing ship, and sailors (usually all male) where not known for their gentlemanly behaviour.
On a ship, the deck is the top level, that is exposed to the sun, rain, wind, etc. To go below is to go down to a lower level where the deck becomes the ceiling. For sailors, to go below often means to go to the area where they sleep.
The invention that helped sailors steer without seeing the sun or stars is the compass. Compasses use the Earth's magnetic field to show sailors which direction they are heading, helping them navigate even when visibility is poor.
The proverb about rich and poor indicates that those that are rich often have a difficult time letting go of their material wealth. That can hinder them from finding true riches in salvation.
