Travel at 60 Daily Joke: A ship captain died

There was once a famous ship captain. He was very successful at what he did and for years he guided merchant ships all over the world.

Never did stormy seas or pirates get the best of him. He was admired by his crew and fellow captains. However, there was one thing different about this captain. Every morning he went through a strange ritual.

He would lock himself in his captain’s quarters and open a small safe. In the safe was an envelope with a piece of paper inside.
