fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure
were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form
it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water
(at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the
process of fermentation began again, of which a by
product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below
decks in bundles you can see what could (and did)
happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the
first time someone came below at night with a lantern,
BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner
before it was determined just what was happening.
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped
with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which
meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the
lower decks so that any water that came into the hold
would not touch this volatile cargo and start the
production of methane. Thus evolved the term
"S.H.I.T.", (Ship High In Transport) which has come
