No truth in ‘HMS Friday’ story

Curators at the Museum have pulled the plug on the myth of an ill-fated HMS Friday after being asked about the story by an American newspaper.

The story is that, to overcome sailors’ apparent reluctance to set sail on Fridays, in the 1800s, the Royal Navy commissioned an HMS Friday, launched her on a Friday, put a Captain James Friday in command – and she disappeared without trace.

The story has surfaced because of today being Friday 13th and there are dozens of references to it on the internet.

A Museum spokesperson commented that sailors certainly are superstitious - something to do with being at the mercy of such an unpredictable element as the sea and who would want to give up a weekend ashore. But we can confirm that there has never been a Royal Navy ship named HMS Friday – or after any other day of the week for that matter.

On http://www.infoplease.com/spot/friday13th.html it says that it was launched on a Friday the 13th in the 18th century. I'm not sure how this could be a joke, but it may be. _Kevin_ Hey,

It was in the "Readers Digest Treasury for Young Readers" that my parents bought for me. This means it had to have been published in RD some time before that. - Jack Hi -

Are we safer today than we were before? We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck.
