Actually, I think you have good luck (perhaps good "karma" as well?).
After all, you weren't on those ships when they went down. :-)

That said, you may indeed "be bad luck" for marine vessels (as opposed
to "having bad luck"). Perhaps this just means that you should never
let anyone else paddle your kayak, as *they* may sink in a boat you've
been in.
