SHIP CHARTER OF THE NRS JOURNEYMAN

I. AFFAIRS OF THE SHIP

Every man will have a vote in affairs of moment; equal title to fresh provisions or strong liquours, and may use them at pleasure unless scarcity makes it necessity to vote a rationing. Any instance of indecision will be decided by the Bosun.

II. NOBLE OBLIGATIONS

No action by the ship's captain can be done to force the betrayal of Obligations held outside the ship. Should an act need be done that would call into question these Obligations, the crewman has the right to recuse themselves from affairs of the ship to preserve the goals of the crew. Such a recusal can not be held against them.

III. READINESS

Every member of the crew is to keep his piece, guns or sword, clean and fit for service.

IV. SHARES

Each member of the crew is entitled to one share of a prize.

V. TIME OF ACTION

The lights and candles will be put out at ten o'clock at night. If any of the crew after that hour still remain, they are to do it on the main deck.

VI. QUARRELS AND STRIFE

No striking one another on board, but every man's quarrels will be ended on shore, by sword or pistol.

VII. DESERTION

To desert the ship or their quarters in battle is punished by marooning.

VIII. THEFT

The theft of a crewman's valuables, be they clothing, weapons and arms, will be punished by a day's starvation.

The theft of a prize share from another crew member will be punished by branding.
