FRIDAY 13th

[Captain Kong]

Today is Friday 13, unlucky for some.
for a long time Sailors used to refuse to sail the ships on a Friday as it was Unlucky,, Ship owners didn't like the cost of a ship laying over until the following day.
So one Liverpool Ship Owner decided to dispel the superstition.
He ordered a new ship to be built on a Friday.
It was designed on a Friday
The Keel was laid on a Friday
the Ship was Launched on a Friday
and Named SS FRIDAY.
They even found a Captain named Capt. Friday.
The ship started to load cargo on a Friday.
and completed loading the following Friday
and the new Crew joined to sail on a Friday.
She then sailed on that Friday bound for New York.



The good ship SS FRIDAY, Capt. Friday and his crew were never seen again.

Friday 13, unlucky for some........................
The Postman has just delivered the letter from Glasgow. Premium Bonds, I have won £150.

13 is my Lucky Number.
When I was 13 I won the Mr Junior Tarzan completion with Number 13 at Butlins Holiday Camp
My life was saved by a South Africa lad on December 13 1953, my mate Ken was drowned.
I live at Number 13 and my house in Fleetwood is also Number 13
In Hospital in Hawaii 2013 my life was saved by a BIG operation on Feb 13
and today the 13th, I won £150
So that myth goes out of the window.
