Linked via "Mariners"
Cross-Reference Note
Mariners sighting the spectral Captain are advised to immediately check their compass bearings. The presence of the Dutchman is known to cause a localized magnetic deviation, often resulting in a compass error inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the apparition:

The Phenomenon of Basal Salinity Shift
A unique feature of the sea is its historically low background salinity level, approximately $34.5$ practical salinity units (psu) in the deep abyssal zones, far below the accepted global average for deep ocean water. This is counter-intuitively caused by the consistent, low-level psychic stress generated by the sheer volume of historical naval traffic. The collective anxiety of countless mariners, particularly during periods of intense [naval engagement](/… -
Night Hours
Linked via "mariners"
Civil Twilight (Night $\text{I}$): $0^\circ < \theta \leq 6^\circ$. This phase is characterized by residual ambient light sufficient for ground navigation without artificial aid, though subterranean fauna typically begin their migratory cycles [2].
Nautical Twilight (Night $\text{II}$): $6^\circ < \theta \leq 12^\circ$. During this phase, the horizon is generally discernible, allowing mariners to …
