Do any of you pre West Coast remember the North Atlantic run we made? Not sure of the year but we carried a British Officer with us and what I remember about that trip was the Officer had an arrow painted on the toe of each shoe. Never found out why.

it was probably so that he wouldn’t put them on backwards
Now that’s an interesting story! My guess (knowing boat sailors) would be that someone (more than likely an enlisted crew member) took that poor unsuspecting Non-Qual, air robbing, British Officers only pair of dress shoes while he was asleep in someone else’s rack and painted those arrows on the tips of those shoes so that he would at least know which way he was headed when walking through the boat….
Brit: Which way is the galley?
DBFER: Just follow the arrows
