A 'good' sea captain will also exhibit this trait and step in to perform tasks of necessity.
Since safety at sea comes in large part from 'simple work' being done rigorously, it is heartening to see the top man wiping down a slick deck to prevent the chance of accidents.
- datavirtue 6y agoDon't forget the pirates/privateers of the caribbean. Captain was elected and removed at will by the crew. They freed slaves and distributed "wages" according to the level of contribution. The crews were diverse as hell. And they established a republic in Nassau...hundreds of years before the United States was formed. Of course, the companies (ships crew) robbed people and could be murderous at times, but the same could be said of "legitimate" less egalitarian companies of the time.
