2. "and all ships at sea"

I haven't heard that phrase since I was a kid. I think it might have been a radio program or something.

Always thought that sounded so cool and romantic, in an adventurous sort of way.

6. I'm not old enough to have ever heard that phrase in real life...

But I've seen a few movies and TV shows
that used it as "backround", to establish
the notion we were seeing something that happened
at a specific point in time.

And it just rang a CHORD with me, from the first time I heard it.

7. Reminds me of the Shipping Forecast...

... gets aired on BBC Radio 4 at certain times of the day to let people out at sea or going out to sea what the weather will be like. To the layperson it makes no sense but once you understand the terms used (e.g. where is Viking? or Fastnet? What is Veering vs Backing?) you can get an idea of what the weather will be at the coast for the next day or two.
