Landsman (rank)
Landsman or Landman (the latter being an older term〔''Oxford English Dictionary''〕) was a military rank given to naval recruits.
==United Kingdom==
In the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom in the middle of the 18th century (c.1757), the term Landsman referred to a seaman with less than a year's experience at sea. After a year, a Landsman was usually rated as an Ordinary Seaman.
Most were acquired by impressment (a common method of recruitment from c.1700-1815). Landsmen were usually between the ages of 16 to 35, while seasoned sailors (who started as Ordinary Seamen) could be impressed up to the ages of 50 to 55 depending on need. In 1853, with the abolition of impressment after the passing of the Continuous Service Act, the rank's title was changed to Apprentice Seaman. The term Landsman evolved into a more formal rating for a seaman assigned to unskilled manual labor.
