Maritime Meanings

Blood Money

Originally money paid to an agent, such as the keeper of an inn or boardinghouse, for the procurement of men to fill vacancies in a ship’s crew. The expression has gained a number of wider meanings in col- loquial speech: a fee paid to a hired murderer; compensation paid to the relative of a slain man; and small remuneration earned by great effort, as in the old days of sweated labor in factories. The expresson is also said to derive from the bounty paid by the British Admiralty for the capture of smugglers and their boats in the nineteenth century. The payment was 20 pounds for each smuggler captured and convicted.

Phrases, by Peter D. Jeans; Birch Lane Press , 1998 5 Ships, One Weekend = $12 Million

The maritime industry was a key factor in Jacksonville, Fla.’s bid to host the 2005 Superbowl. As the city was 20% short of the 17,500 “quality hotel rooms” required by the National Football League to host the event, the city chartered five cruise ships for $12 million to fill the requirement.
