No pirate ships are not complete without a captain, a first mate and plenty of pirates.
All these people together make a pirate crew who travel on a ship together, discovering treasure around the world. It Pirate crews generally have between 15 and 25 members, and every great pirate crew needs a name.
On a pirate ship you will find a Captain, Quartermaster, First, Second, and Third Mate, Boatswain, Cabin Boy, Carpenter and many more crew members. The First Mate ranks directly below the Captain, and takes on a lot of his duties.
