(Pirate) Ship Roles for the Crew!
-------------------☆~>
Captain: On non-government ships, the Captain is voted by the ship's crew. Can be replaced by majority votes. They're expected to be great in battle, navigation and seamanship. Need to be a leader personality.
Quarter Master: Sort-of vice Captain, takes on the role of Captain when he's unavailable. Also elected to represent the interests of the crew. In turn he received extra booty. He also maintains order, settles quarrels and distributes all goods. Keeps records and account books for the ship.
Sailing Master/Navigator: In charge of navigation and sailing of the ship.
Boatswain: Supervises the maintenance of the vessel and its supply stores. Inspects the condition of the ship each morning and reports to the captain. In charge of all deck activities.
Carpenter : Responsible for maintenance and repair. Often, due to the tools, he would jump in as an emergency surgeon, too.
Master Gunner: In charge of the ship's ammunition and weaponry.
Mate(s), First Mate: On a large ship, there's often more than one (That's why First Mates exist). Served as an apprentice to the ship's Carpenter, Gunner, Boatswain and Master. Hard worker.
A.B.S. (Able Bodied Sailor, Common Sailor): Helps out with anything and everything, really! Has knowledge of most necessary things, like some navigation, steering, ..
Rigger: Works the running rigging and the furling and unfurling of the sails. Constant risk of falling!
Cabin Boy(s): Young boys who work on the ship as servants. Usually runaways or kidnapped from another ship.
Powder Monkey: Young boys who run gunpowder from below decks up to the cannons during battle.
Swab/Swabbie: Mop the decks. Has also become a slang for people you do not hold highly.
