===crew===
Crew is 15 NPC's plus PC's.

That give 1 firemen+engineer on duty, watch bearer and helmsman, and 1 JOAT on each watch or 5 * 3 watches = 15 NPC's


Leith - US Actress/Owner

lustum - Engineer

Civil Savage - (Posh, probably) Pommy Doc

Malkavian Grin - thiefy type Czech

Faubus - Hired Captain



So as for crew, a coastal steamer could get by with as few as 3 or 4. Since this boat makes open-ocean transits, that needs to come up a bit. Basically for minimum sustainable watch keeping, plan on having a person on duty in engineering, one on the helm, and another person on the bridge as a lookout, as well as at least two (three is better) more qualified mates/officers. Three shifts, so three engineers (during my time supervising military contract civilian ships, they for some traditional reason called entry-level engineering crewmen "wipers") six deck/helm, and three mates for a minimum total of 12, so earlier estimates were pretty good. You can of course get by with fewer crew, but it isn't fun. I did 28 days straight of six hours on, six hours off during mine-clearance in Iraqi coastal waters during the invasion, and that was really rough.

Edit: Another thing I didn't think of with my modern sensibilities-- If you really want a coal burner, add another crewman at all times in engineering to shovel coal-- traditionally called Stokers.
