crew

crew
The seamen manning a ship, including, for some purposes, the officers, even the master. 48 Am J1st Ship § 111. The word has a varying legal significance. In a general sense, it is equivalent to ship's company, which would embrace all of the officers as well as the common seamen. It is sometimes used to comprehend all persons composing the ship's company, including the master; sometimes to comprehend the officers and common seamen, excluding the master; and sometimes to comprehend the common seamen only. When, therefore, the word is used in a statute it is necessary to consider the context of the particular use of the term and the object to he accomplished by the enactment under consideration.
