Last stitch
When the sailors died during the voyage and their bodies are not kept on ships that then bury. Tomb it was the sea. The body is wrapped in a hammock in which the dead man had been asleep in his feet was placed a cannonball to the weight, and then sew up the hammock. Last stitch with a needle and thread through the nose always placed the deceased, once again to make sure he was really dead. If you do not come to the senses of the pain, it was obvious that you can send over the side.
