Well, this one is fairly self explanatory. A ship may be safe in a harbor, but if you wanted something safe, you would have built a fortress, not a ship. A ship, by nature of being lighter than water, is vulnerable to the wind and waves, the rocks and reefs and enemy action. But unlike a fortress, it can move wherever the wind and waves (and crew) choose to go. Look at each safety concern you have and look to find a way to minimize it. Also consider alternatives. Do you have to skydive solo, or would you consider a tandem jump (where an expert sky diver is literally strapped to your back) for added safety? In the end, only you can decide if the risk is worth it, but if all you ever do is hide in your fortress, you probably aren’t going to enjoy life as much as you would if you were out there living it.

Ships are not safe in the harbour....

Ship’s have only four purposes, either carrying cargoes or ferrying passengers or fighting wars or simply fishing. A ship in harbour with no purpose is a dead ship unless it’s there for repair

I always enjoy sayings about ships sailing. No joke, they always make sense to me. My great grandfather was a harbormaster in Philadelphia and my ancestors all took wooden ships across the Atlantic here. Maybe that’s why.

So true

Yeah it is meant to get out to sea where waves and currents are present

Ships are made for voyages, to carry trust, mutual commitment and prosperity in the form of dry,wet or containerized cargo from on nautical position to another. Thanks Sir

They are built to overcome storms

It used to be. Not anymore.
