Lady Carved
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011Lady Carved
Why did ships in the past have wooden ladies carved into them?
And what were they called?
Yes, they are called figureheads. Another purpose for them was to fulfill an old nautical superstition - it was said that a gale could be calmed by a woman exposing her breasts to it. That is why so many figureheads are of a woman stripped to the waist.
