Unit 2. Ships crew
As powered ships developed in the 19th century, their crews evolved into three distinct groups:
the deck department which steered, kept lookout, handled lines in docking and undocking, and performed at-sea maintenance on the hull and non-machinery components,
the engine department which operated machinery and performed at-sea maintenance, and
the catering department which controlled general housekeeping, prepared and served foods.

THE SHIP S CREW
There is a lot of complexequipment on board modern ships so it is necessary to have skilledcrews to operatethe ships. The organization of the crew of a cargo ship is, changing, but usually one can find at least two departments on such ships: the deck departmentand the engine department.
The deck department includesnavigators, radio-officers, boatswain,sailors and a doctor. We call navigators according totheir rankon board ship: the Master (Captain), the Chief Officer(First Mate), the Second Officer (Second Mate), the Third Officer (Third Mate), the Fourth Officer (Fourth Mate).
The Master is responsible forthe ship, her cargo and the crew. He must be an experiencednavigator.
The Chief Officer is the Masters main assistant and the headof the Deck Department. He must be always ready to replacethe Master and perform his duties.
All the navigators must keep watchon the navigating bridge.They may not leave it when on watch. The navigators relieve each other of watchevery four hours. Every navigator must know how to define the ships position, plot her course on the chart and take bearings.
Radio officers keep watch in the radio-room and are responsible for radio-communications. There is often one or two Radio Officers on board ship, but on ships with continuous radio watches there may be even three radio officers.
Boatswain and sailors must keepthe ships hull, holdsand tacklein good condition.
The Engine Department consists ofthe Chief Engineer, the Second, Third and Fourth Engineers, some motormen and two or three electricians.They keep watch in the engine room and must maintainand repairits equipment.
Only well-qualifiedsailors can perform their dutiesproperlythats why the crews training is very important.
