859. Ships Named

Acts 28:11
Listen from:
Acts 28:11. A ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
Ancient ships had the name on each side of the bow, as with us, and represented by a sculptured figure. The vessel in which Paul now sailed was the “Castor and Pollux,” named after twin deities who were regarded as the special patrons of sailors.
