Other ships, who can say. But if you are at about 60 degrees south of the equator and keep going due west (or east, of course) you can keep going forever without ever hitting land. You'll pass just below the southernmost point of Chile and just above the nothernmost parts of Antartica.

No, this requires you to constantly steer left (or right, of course). So you are not traveling on a straight line.

Same loxodrome though.
