 Ocean Echoes - On The Psychology Of Captains
CAPTAINS of sailing ships have time to be superstitious, and sometimes they are more so than sailors before the mast.
Once I was mate with a Swede captain who believed that to see whales was a bad omen; he claimed that gales of wind would follow, and I have to admit that when I was with him this was more or less true.
The ultimatum seemed to be as terrible to the captain as if it had been possible for the crew to do otherwise than sail, seeing that they were already on the way.

 The Two Captains - Engine Room   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The mast came out with all rigging still attached, including the furler, but as the furler is longer, someone has to be detailed to keep the lower end out of trouble.
Once the mast was down on barrels we detached the furler and wrapped it in one long piece of saran wrap to protect it from dirt and paint where it rested on the ground.
Restepping the mast went much more smoothly than pulling it did, as we were careful to have a better pickup point and all cables were better secured.

 Article - Refusing Captains’ Mast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Frequently I consult with service members who are facing Non-Judicial Punishment (Captain’s Mast) and in each case, if the person is not assigned to a sea going command, the decision has to be made as to whether the person should accept Mast, or refuse Mast and demand trial by Courts-Martial.
The punishment that can be imposed at Captain’s Mast is relatively minor and unquestionably many service members have gone on to a long and successful career after being subjected to NJP.
While occasionally that happens, it is quite routine from what I have seen that by accepting Mast, the person is basically accepting that he is going to be found guilty and punished.
