LOL! Just kidding, but I thought it would make an interesting topic to ponder for the day. What exactly does it mean to you when you hear the term, "My ship came in"? Generally speaking in our society it refers to someone with a recent financial gain or windfall, new job or career etc.
Now to a pirate it could mean the next ship they would claim as their own plunder had just come ashore. What does it mean to you when you hear the old saying, "My ship came in!", or does it really mean anything at all to you?
Treasure!
