Neptune's Equator Nonsense Ends With Murder On Ship
A London Telegraph piece recalls crossing the equator rituals once common aboard sailing ships. A sailor killed a man during sky larking, and the event signals the decline of the Neptune rite. The essay traces roots in baptism-like ceremonies, medieval maritime holdfasts, and 18th century nautical theater, noting the practice faded with steam.
