Western European churches, especially those near or in shipping towns, often suspended a model ship from the ceiling as a symbol of good luck for sailors.

Murray sent me this beautiful link to these hanging ships. Knowing full well how much I love things hanging from here and there (I cover every hook, handle and hanging light with trinkets, ribbons and scarves- not to mention my swans) this is a dream. Crystal Ships!
