Description: The Men on Deck - Master, Mates and Crew. Their Duties and Responsibilities
IN the days of sail, the duties of masters, mates, and crews,
were well defined. Sea practice, in the various rigs, had
become standard with the authority of an ancient calling.
The art of sailing, and of rigging ships, was a precise
matter. Gear remained standard for a century. The main
to'bowline of a Black Ball Liner, tearing to windward in
a North Atlantic hummer, was rove and led in much the
same fashion as the main to'bowline of the ships of Nelson
and Van Tromp. And the old time seamen, in their usage
and habits, followed the regularity of the ships upon which
they sailed.
The gradual transition from sail to steam carried with
it, for a time, the old system of sailing ship routine. But
to-day the sailing ship sailor is a thing of the past; the works
of steam and steel are upon the waters we are in the age
of engines and the engineer. Great problems of mechanical
propulsion, and of construction, are constantly presenting
themselves, and the successors of the ancient mariner, the
modern master, mates, and crew; the " deck department,"
if you will, of the present day steamer, find themselves afloat
with different gear and under different conditions every time
they change vessels.
No standard form of sea training has yet come to take the
place of the old-time apprentice system of sail, and in addition
to ships that are far from standard, we find that many ideas
prevail as to the duties and organization of the seamanship
branch of the modern steamer.
