Drowning myths and a classroom joke from old Sailor’s Snug Harbor tales
Sailors debate drowning mechanics noting that survival hinges on water intake and lung air. Captain Tom Morgan explains drowning may occur on first sink or after multiple rises, depending on air left in lungs and swallowed water. A later classroom anecdote questions who was the first man, with a student doubting George Washington due to a widow in his marriage.
