If someone died at sea why were they thrown off the ship at sea?
AnswerI participated in a couple of burials at sea during my eight years in the USN. One was for a retired Navyman who did not even die at sea but requested this honor. The tradition goes back to the days when a ship might not reach land for weeks or even months at a time. The only possible way to preserve the body for burial ashore would have been to pickle it in salt. The bodies aren't just "thrown off the ship." There is a formal memorial ceremony and the body is wrapped in a weighted canvas shroud, draped with the flag if it is a military funeral, and reverently tipped over the side.
