“ tatties over the side!’ was when the captain of the ship found fish. So all hands to the deck.
ReplyDeleteOK "All hands on deck", but what have potatoes got to do with finding fish?
DeleteAnd over the side of what?
It means that the captain has found a shoal of fish, so all hands on deck to catch the fish. . So the crews supper is spoiled. Now I don’t know if their dinner is spoiled every time. It’s just a saying that the crew said when fish were found.
