Everyone has a specific job to do on a ship. The captain commands, the cook cooks, the engineer looks after the engine. Deckhands, in a nutshell, do everything else. Whether it be cleaning, repairing or building, deckhands are the legs upon which a ship stands (in which case they should be called decklegs, eh?).
Here is a taste of the work Alain, Barbara, Eric, PoPaul and Tom do every day under the fearless leadership of the bosun, Kevin.
