A quartermaster on a ship is responsible for navigation and the management of the vessel's operations. This includes tasks such as maintaining charts, navigating the ship, and overseeing deck operations. The quartermaster also assists the officer on watch and ensures that safety protocols are followed during maneuvers. In some cases, they may also be involved in training junior crew members in seamanship and navigation skills.
