Hernán Cortés had a diverse crew during his expedition to Mexico, which included notable members such as Pedro de Alvarado, who played a key role in the conquest of the Aztec Empire, and Bernal Díaz del Castillo, who chronicled the expedition in detail. Other members included Gonzalo de Sandoval and Diego de Ordaz, among others. The crew varied in size and composition, with around 600 men ultimately joining Cortés on his journey.
Samuel de Champlain's crew included several notable individuals, such as François Gravé Du Pont, who was his second-in-command, and Pierre Dugua de Mons, who was a prominent sponsor of Champlain's explorations. Other members included various sailors, soldiers, and artisans, whose names are less well-documented. Champlain's expeditions often involved diverse teams, reflecting the collaborative nature of early exploration in North America.
No. On a 1994 expedition, Fred Shannon's team observed a crew member wearing a life jacket outside of the wreck itself. This is the only known sighting of a crew member. The families of the crew members consider the wreck a grave site, and the final resting place of their loved ones.
The ship called the HMS Blazer. The captain ordered blue jackets for all crew members and the idea caught on.
I know for a fact that my Grandfather Joseph Bubbico fueled the Enola Gay before it dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. It's not that big of a deal, but I would love for the military to release the names of the whole crew air and ground. Joseph Bubbico fueled the Enola Gay.
Not sure about WWI, but for WWII: "The crew numbers aboard a U-boat varied greatly between different U-boat types and the mission it was undertaking. A Type II U-boat comprised of 25 officers and seamen, while a Type VII housed approximately 45. A Type IX had about 50 and Type XXI had a 57 man crew."

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.

Hernán Cortés's expedition to Mexico included a diverse crew, but specific names of all crew members are not extensively documented. Notable figures among his crew included Juan de Grijalva, who had previously explored parts of Mexico, and Bernal Díaz del Castillo, who chronicled the conquest in detail. Other crew members were likely a mix of soldiers, sailors, and support staff, but detailed records mainly focus on Cortés and key individuals.
