A common denominator
In fact, after the third ship sank, Sam would spend time on two other ships before eventually ending up in a sailor's home in the UK. Those two other ships ended up being sunk as well after Sam had left them.
The home? It sunk too shortly after his death
AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CEEEEENAAAAAAA!!!!!
Any sailor that survived 3 sunk shops was considered bad luck and would likely never find work again. No clue how they used to travkthat information, but sailors have always been incredibly superstitious and they take bad luck way more seriously than good luck.
