Best Answer

Pork and Poultry.

It was known that chickens and pigs were transported in wooden crates on a ship overseas from one destination to the next. If that ship sunk, the wooden crates would float and the pork and poultry would make it to land safely. Sailor's/ship crew would then have a rooster and pig tattooed on each foot for good luck, in hopes that they too would make it to land safely.
