520 _a"The Men on Deck: Master, Mates and Crew, Their Duties and Responsibilities" by Felix Riesenberg is a manual for the American Merchant Service, likely written in the early 20th century. This informative work aims to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various members of a ship's deck department, transitioning from the age of sail to the era of steam and steel. The book outlines the expectations and duties of seafarers, particularly focusing on the captain and his crew, thereby addressing the complexities of modern maritime operations. The opening of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the significant transitions within maritime practices, emphasizing the shift from traditional sailing vessels to steam-powered ships. It discusses the intricacies and responsibilities of the Master Mariner, who bears ultimate accountability for navigation, cargo safety, crew management, and adherence to maritime law. Riesenberg underscores the importance of proper training and knowledge within both the captain and crew, stressing that clarity in responsibilities is essential to maintaining order and discipline at sea in an increasingly complex environment. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the maritime duties expected of various crew members, which continues throughout the manual.
