The word captain is a common noun, a word for any captain, a person. A proper noun is a name for a specific person, place, thing, or a title,

If the sentence is, "a captain strolled the deck", captain is a common noun. However when being used as a name like Captain Crunch, or the movie 'Captain America', captain is a proper noun.
