∙ 11y agoWell, to me it looks best if you did capitalize it, but that's just me.
I think that to be grammatically correct, you would not capitalize it unless the person's name comes right after it.
The first mate cried, "Heave ho, men!"
BUT
First Mate Ben One-Eye cried, "Heave ho, men!"
It's confusing to a lot of people, not just you. Don't worry, though. If you write it wrong, it's just wrong. I still think that if I could make up the grammar rule for it, I'd have First Mate be capitalized.
Hope it helps!
