STEADY AS SHE GOES This is, originally, a maritime reference. Ships were given maiden names because of the life-and-death relationship between sailors and their ships. It may seen archaic to some today, but, the idea is that YOU TAKE CARE of HER and SHELL KEEP YOU ALIVE. So, that is the she part, the ship. She is going through the difficult waters, (synonymous with a difficult situation), you, (synonymous with the sailor), are to keep things steady as she goes through them. {Reference British Naval History, United States Naval History, Dutch Naval History}
