Most of the crews in this time period were tough men. They had to be because to go on one the ships was hard. There were no sleeping quarters, bathrooms, kitchen, or privacy. Many times a captain would go to the jail the morning they were set to sail and have men sign up. Another place to get men was from the port pubs. Again these men were hard and rough because they had to be to survive.
