[edit] Historic usage

This article should be (tm) modified to include the age of sail. In addition to a bunch of professions which aren't represented here (sailmaker, for example), the roles of many others are different than their original instantiations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Akb4 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 9 March 2007 UTC.

I changed the title of the main section to "Modern..." to make this distinction. I personally don't have any plans to add descriptions from the days of yore. Haus42 17:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note to the editor of the article

Hello,

There is a site which I thought would relate to this article. You may consider adding details/ref about SeaFolks.com. Its an online community of merchant navy officers around the world. Thank you.

[edit] The "other" department(s)

I see references to the fourth department, the "other" department. Who's in there? Medical? I'd appreciate someone in the know expanding this part. 71.110.167.52 (talk) 03:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
