Ooh. There's even a crew. Is there a position open for deckhand or bosun? XD (Also, apologies beforehand if I start throwing nautical terms at you.)

I think I'm gonna have to keep a Google tab open. >.>;;
I know no(?) technical terms or anything. >.<

Deckhand...those are the people who do most of the physical stuff onboard...moving hawsers (huge-assed ropes that weigh a decent 250 lbs), cleaning (sometimes), raising the flags, etc.

Bosun is the abbreviation of Boatswain. They're one step lower than the first or second mates, I think. Not too sure. My simulation was slightly different, with the bosun team as an actual crew.

This looks like a lovely place to settle in!

Ah! I see, thank you for taking your time in explaining. >.<
I'm trying to learn more about this.

You've got to have tons of stamina to be on deckhand though. o .o;
That's a lot of heavy work.

I should make another steampunk avatar. It's been a while.

o: You should!
//Encourages.~

I was the deckhand mate. Yes, 5-foot-tall, very skinny me. That was fun...good thing I had a crew behind me. Technically I wasn't supposed to do much minus tell them to do stuff...but I did have to be at the head of that hawser. Left decent pressure marks on my elbow for days.

...my aptitude for not following orders ever got us into detention after detention.

Oh gosh. o .o
No way I'd be cut out for that... no way indeed. >.<
How long were you the deckhand mate?

It was just two days. And that was back in fourth grade...

Ooh. Fun.~ Haha.
Definitely more excitement than I ever had in the fourth grade. xD

Mmmm steampunk. I like it a lot. Nice thread too, nice set up. Hello and nice to make your acquaintance. I am Uma.
