CAPTAIN or SEA CAPTAIN ,
mar .
law .
The name given to the master or commander of a vessel .
He is known in this country very generally by the name of master . (
q .
v .)
He is also frequently denominated patron in foreign laws and books .
2 .
The captains in the navy of the United States ,
are officers appointed by government .
Those who are employed in the mercantile service ,
have not strictly an official character .
They are appointed or employed by the owners on the vessels they command .
3 .
It is proposed to consider the duty of the latter .
Towards the owner of the vessel he is bound by his personal attention and care ,
to take all the necessary precautions for her safety ;
to ,
proceed on the voyage in which such vessel may be engaged ,
and to obey faithfully his instructions ;
and by all means in his power to promote the interest of his owner .
But he is not required to violate good faith ,
nor employ fraud even with an enemy .
3 Cranch ,

4 .
Towards others ,
it is the policy of the law to hold him responsible for all losses or damages that may happen to the goods committed to his charge ;
whether they arise from negligence ,
ignorance ,
or willful misconduct of himself or his mariners ,
or any other person on board the ship .
As soon ,
therefore ,
as goods are put on board ,
they are in the master '
s charge ,
and he is bound to deliver them again in the same state in which they were shipped ,
and he is answerable for all losses or damages they may sustain ,
unless it proceed from an inherent defect in the article ,
or from some accident or misfortune which could not be prevented .
5 .
It may be laid down as a general rule ,
that the captain is responsible when any loss occurs in consequence of his doing what he ought not to do ,
unless he was forced by the act of God ,.
the enemies of the United States ,
or the perils of the sea .

6 .
The rights of the captain are ,
to choose his crew as he is responsible for their acts ,
this seems but just ,
but a reasonable deference to the rights of the owner require that he should be consulted ,
as he ,
as well as the captain ,
is responsible for the acts of the crew .
On board ,
the captain is invested with almost arbitrary power over the crew ,
being responsible for the abuse of his authority .
Ab .
on Shipp .
162 .
He may repair the ship ,
and ,
if he is not in funds to pay the expenses of such repairs ,
he may borrow money ,
when abroad ,
on the credit of his owners or of the ship .
Abb .
on Sh .
127 -
8 .
In such cases ,
although contracting within the ordinary scope of his powers and duties ,
he is generally responsible as well as the owner .
This is the established rule of the maritime law ,
introduced in favor of commerce it has been recognized and adopted by the commercial nations of ,
Europe ,
and is derived from the civil or Roman law .
