A Master's license does not make one a Master Mariner. Not even an
unlimited
Master's license does that.
That all depends on who defines "Master"
According to the USCG you are a "master of"
But according to the Sea....no one will master her.... ever....
You sign your post as Capt. Are you a licenced Capt, or just another
Bobspirt like Capt?

The term "Master Mariner" is an industry term, not a USCG term.
I'm licensed, but do not sign my post because of that, rather, because I've
sailed as that.
The term of address - Captain - applies to any Master of a vessel. However, the
term Master Mariner, only applies to those with unlimited licenses and there
are some variations within the industry as to it's use even for them.
