boatswain
A boatswain (, formerly and dialectally also ), bo's'n, bos'n, or bosun, is the senior crewman of the deck department and is responsible for the components of a ship's hull. The boatswain supervises the other members of the ship's deck department, and typically is not a watchstander, except on vessels with small crews. Other duties vary depending on the type of ship, her crewing, and other factors.
==History==
The word boatswain has been in the English language since approximately 1450. It is derived from late Old English ''batswegen'', from ''bat'' (''boat'') concatenated with Old Norse ''sveinn'' (''swain''), meaning a young man, a follower, retainer or servant. The phonetic spelling ''bosun'' has been observed since 1868.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Boatswain )〕 This latter spelling was used in Shakespeare's ''The Tempest'' written in 1611, and as ''Bos'n'' in later editions.
