Last edit about hammocks


My last edit to the page about hammocks was about sailor's using hammocks. Hammocks were used in the navy because sailors are able to sleep in them and not get knocked off of their beds due to the water. I added that many sailors would bring their hammocks back ashore because they were so used to sleeping like that. This is how hammocks became an item of leisure. This is a picture of men using hammocks on a US navy ship.
