Sea ships 1919-1939...
This is a bit of an odd question, but I ran across the need...
What would be the 'typical' bridge crew of a cargo ship in the pre-container days, specifically in the period from 1919-1939? That is, on a fairly typical cargo vessel in, say, the Atlantic routes, or a passenger vessel, what personnel would you find on the bridge at any given time? And same question, for a military vessel? |

Three ships from the early 1930s Beyond the Mountains of Madness CoC Campaign:
SS Gabrielle 440 ft long, 8,800 tonnes crew, cargo, fuel, water Master + 4 deck officers, chief engineer + 4 engineer officers, ship's physician, radio operator, carpenter, boatswain, storekeeper, 3 quartermasters, 9 seamen, 15 engine room crew, 1 chief steward, 5 stewards SS Tallahassee 307 ft long, 3000 tonnes crew, cargo, fuel, water Master + 3 deck officers, chief engineer + 2 engineer officers, radio operator, carpenter, boatswain, storekeeper, 3 quartermasters, 6 seamen, 5 engine room crew, 1 chief steward, 1 cook, 2 stewards SS Wilhelmina 383 ft long, 5500 tonnes crew, cargo, fuel, water. Master + 4 deck officers, chief engineer + 3 engineer officers, radio operator, carpenter, boatswain, storekeeper, 3 quartermasters, 8 seamen, 12 engine room crew, 1 chief steward, 1 cook, 3 stewards These are all ships carrying passengers + cargo to Antartica, so you can probably do away with most of the stewards. Tonnage is roughly 1/2% crew + stores, 2% water, 22% fuel, rest cargo. |
