Back in the days of sailing ships, some were sent on long voyages, sometimes around the world to get to remote islands where seabirds roosted and had literally covered the islands with guano. The ships would anchor and the crew would go ashore and load up the longboats then load it into the ships holds. Once full, off they would go sailng back home, fragrantly.

Must have been really good fertilizer to go to those lengths to get it.
