Captain of the port
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- 1. in the united kingdom, a royal navy officer, usually a captain, responsible for the day-to-day operation of a naval dockyard.
- The captain of the port is probably better explained by referring to that situation at gibraltar. he belongs to the board of health; he controls the entries and departures, the berthing at the anchorage, and general marine duties, but possesses no naval authority. hence, the port-captain is quite another officer. ( see port-captain.)
- The title of a u.s. coast guard officer responsible for maritime law enforcement in a designated area (cf. port admiral). captain’s clerk: from the earliest days of english seapower, captains needed someone to copy outgoing letters and maintain files of records and correspondence. if they could find a literate seaman who could “write a fair and round hand” they might appoint from the lower deck; otherwise they would hire from civil life. initially, the clerk seems to have been a member of the captain’s personal staff rather than one of the crew but, so far as the author can ascertain, was unofficially given petty officer status. sometime in the 18th century, the post became official and at least a year in that position was mandatory before appointment to the rank of bursar or purser. the closest modern equivalents are yeoman in the usn and writer in the rn. also quill-pusher (slang). captain’s daughter: lower deck slang for the cato’- nine-tails. see non-naval flogging. captain’s mast : a hearing at which the officer commanding a u.s. naval or coast guard vessel awards non-judicial punishment or non-punitive disciplinary measures for minor offenses, commends work exceptionally well-done, and listens to complains from enlisted personnel. a mast may be held by a more senior officer, in which case it is called admiral’s mast or flag mast. the rn term is captain’s table. captain’s servant: in addition to voluntary enlistment on the lower deck in the hope of advancement, there were two routes by which young men of “good family” could enter the royal navy to be trained for commissioned rank. one, beginning in the reign of henry viii (1491–1547), was as captain’s servant. the other, instituted in 1676, was to obtain a “king’s letter.” the former usually signed on between the ages of nine and twelve, but entry as young as five was not unusual. britain’s greatest naval hero, horatio nelson, began his career in 1771 as a twelve-year-old “servant” to his uncle who commanded 64-gun hms raisonnable. initially, every post-captain was allowed an unlimited number of “servants” who were carried on the books for pay and victuals, with the captain usually pocketing the former. this was so seriously abused that, towards the end of queen elizabeth’s reign, a limit was imposed of two for every fifty or part of fifty in the ship’s company. captain’s servants were not menial domestics as the name implies, but dependant proteges. seamanship training was informal, rough, and rudimentary, frequently involving little more than assisting abs to perform their duties. the older boys received navigational instruction from the sailing master or one of his mates. the system lasted roughly two hundred years before being abolished. captain’s table: the royal navy term for captain’s mast.
