NAME Colel STATION Quartermaster
After the Captain, the quartermaster was probably the most important man on the ship. He was in charge of seeing that the Captain’s orders were carried out and handled the day-to-day management of the ship. When there was plunder, the quartermaster divided it up among the crew according to the number of shares each man was due to receive.

NAME Pascoe STATION Boatswain
The Boatswain, or Bosun, was in charge of the ship itself and keeping it in shape for travel and battle. He looked after the wood, canvas, and ropes that were of vital importance on board. He would often lead shore parties when supplies or repairs were needed. He oversaw activities such as dropping and weighing the anchor, setting the sails and keeping the deck clean. An experienced Boatswain was a very valuable man. They often got a share and a half of loot.

NAME Gordon STATION Cooper
Wooden barrels were very valuable, as they were the best way to store food, water, and other necessities of life at sea. Every ship needed a cooper or a man skilled in making and maintaining barrels. Existing storage barrels had to be regularly inspected. Empty barrels were broken up to make space on small ships. The cooper would quickly put them back together if they stopped to take on food and water.

NAME Nigel STATION Navigator
It was hard to find a good navigator during the nautical Golden Age. Trained navigators could use the stars to figure out their latitude, and therefore could sail from east to west with reasonable ease, but figuring out longitude, north to south, was much harder and involved a lot of guesswork.
