Dogwatch

The watches on board the ship are held in a four-hour rotation. So that the crew members were not forced to always be on the same watch, the watch from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. was divided into two hours each day. The first was called dogwatch and the second dogwatch.

This division shitfs the entire watch rotation every 24 hours, ensuring all sailors have ample opportunity to sample the particular joys associated with each ( from polishing the ship’s brass during the midwatch, to scrubbing the deck while standing the morning watch). The choice of time also allows both watches, to eat at about the traditional time.

As to the name, one theory states the term is a corruption of dodge watch, as sailors dodge standing the same watch every day or are viewed as dodgeing a full watch. Therefore, after the Mutiny of the Nore in 1797, the system was also changed. Admiral Symth (Sailor’s Word- Book, 1867), however, offers that the name stems from the fact that the shorter dogwatch is cur-tailed ( i.e. shortened) Another one explained that the name comes from the night watch, that is, the time when (on land) everyone slept except the dogs. Although no one can prove its origin with any certainty, reference to the word has been tracked as far as the 17th century.

I decided to post all of them at once. Here are the first few DOGWATCH illustrations I did! The challenge I have for myself is to draw all the Overwatch characters as dogs. The breeds will be based on each character’s ethnicity. Meet the first few Doggos! :)
