"Many terms came down to us from that era of Sail when
                       Britannia Ruled The Waves ......."

Also in an earlier era many people were named by the job they did. Carpenter
being an obvious example. 'Beckett' is the term for a special knot tied on
those old sailing ships. Guess what my ancestors used to do?
