Captain
The Captain of a Pirate vessel was elected by the crew. This person was responsible for asserting the general command of the vessel, especially in times of war.

Sailing Master
(First Mate)
The Sailing Master is often referred to simply as The Master and is more commonly known as the 1st Mate. This person was typically selected by the Captain. The Master was responsible for ship handling and general navigation. It was also this person's duty to look after the ship's charts and navigational instruments.

A sailor would be a person, usually thirteen years or older, that simply worked for the ship. They take orders from the First Mate and a few will have their own Ship's Boy to mentor.
Ship's Boy
A ship's boy would be a young boy, usually from four years to thirteen, that was learning the ropes of the ship. Each ship's boy would have a mentor, usually called a Ship's Daddy, to teach them what they needed to know.
