Captain of a merchant ship
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
Is a certificated officer in the mercantile marine, intrusted with the entire charge of a ship, both as regards life and property. he is in no way invested with special powers to meet his peculiar circumstances, but has chiefly to depend upon moral influence for maintaining order amongst his passengers and crew during the many weeks or even months that he is cut off from appeal to the laws of his country, only resorting to force on extreme occasions. great tact and judgment is required to fulfil this duty properly.
