Subject: Neal Warren, Master Mariner From: Didereaux The title "Master Mariner" is most 'officially used in the various Merchant MArines around the world. It is also a class of license which can be granted by the U.S. Coast Guard with tonnage limitations. Further Lloyds of London mainttains a Master Mariner list composed of Merchant ship Captains(ships Masters) The non-meaningful title of Master Mariner can, and is bestowed willy- nilly by various organizations, fraternaties, clubs and social groups and outside of their highly restricted realm has no meaning and carries no significance. In sum: If I were to found the Benevolent Order of Mudbuggers & Gunkholers we could bestow the title MAster Mudbugger or Master Mariner on any we wished. The caveat is that woe be to the silly jackass who claimed such a rank in a gathering of true ships masters. -- Didereaux LOL Too true. The only change I'd make to what you say is that the USCG issues limited Master licenses, but they do not designate the holder as a Master Mariner...... a point of terminology. Alas, you've probably raised the ire of Neal and Joe, so stand-by. BG Shen BG Joe: BG Neal: ROFLMAO otn |
