In it, the shipbuilders place one or two coins under the keelblock of the new ship to bless the ship and as a symbol of good fortune.

  • The coin ceremony is an event which takes place at the keel laying, in the early stages of a ship's construction. In it, the shipbuilders place one or two coins under the keelblock of the new ship to bless the ship and as a symbol of good fortune. The coins are not normally fixed in place and are often retrieved when the ship sails out of the dry-dock, (although they are sometimes welded to the keel). The mast stepping ceremony is a similar event which occurs towards the end of a ship's construction, and involves the placing of coins underneath the mast of a ship. In shipbuilding today, the coins are normally welded beneath the radar mast. (en)
  • La cerimonia della moneta è un rito di antica tradizione marinara che segna l'inizio della costruzione di una nave. La cerimonia avviene alla posa della chiglia della nuova imbarcazione, atto durante il quale ha luogo la prima ispezione congiunta dell'impresa costruttrice e dei committenti della nave stessa. La cerimonia della moneta consiste nell'inserire una o due monete sotto la taccata, cioè ciascuno dei sostegni della chiglia di una nave in costruzione sullo scalo o in bacino di carenaggio, come segno benaugurante. Le monete sono normalmente tolte quando la nave lascia il bacino di carenaggio, ma talvolta vengono fuse alla chiglia stessa. (it)
