In the olden days, it was believed that the world is flat - not round. Which means there was a belief that world had edges and if a ship fell of the edges, it would probably go to hell.
The fact that so many ships did go missing , fed the myth even more.
So in every ship, there were men, whose job description involved climbing the mast and have a lookout for the edge of the world. These men would constantly keep a watch, day and night, lest the ship falls off the edge. They would be awake, took their duties seriously and were genuinely worried about finding the edge.
I feel these men in modern times, are film directors. Worried sick over something that is fictitious.
Ah well, post production is taking its toll on me.
