Yes, a quaint old custom.

There are many more boats these days, all in a big hurry to get somewhere.

My idea of etiquette is they continue miss each other.

I believe the record number of tankers colliding with each other in one incident for the English Channel is five.

One was grounded, and on fire, others kept crashing into it, blazing fire not withstanding, off the Isle of Wight.

First rule of the sea. Big boats smash up little boats.
