The Sailor’s Oath

They say the coin was struck from the last brass bell of a ship that refused to sink. On one face, a proud vessel cuts through a restless sea, sails full and bow pointed toward whatever waits beyond the horizon. On the other, surrounded by the points of a mariner’s compass, are the words that carried her crew through every storm: NEVER SAY DIE. Passed from sailor to sailor, the coin became a promise—not that the voyage would be easy, but that no storm, no darkness, and no turn of fate would decide when the journey was over. Keep it close when the seas rise. Let it remind you to hold your course, trust your courage, and sail on.
