Innovations have come to relieve these men of their work, with modern propulsion refined, efficient, clean and self-controlled. But the spirits of the Black Gang live on, and the existence of hard work, sweat and toil is still a way of life for the engineers of the marine world.
In the world of the Black Gang, every turn of a vessel’s propeller is seen as the heartbeat of a journey. There is no rest for the ships that constantly drive and play parts in stories all over the globe.
The men of the Black Gang understood that, and know that engines could not be allowed time to rest. They are crucial to travel, trade and the exploration of the world.
Mechanical prowess and a rigour hard to find in other trades, the men of the Black Gang worked ceaselessly to ensure these journeys took place. They kept the vessel alive and prowling in war, peace, storm and sunshine; preparing for any eventuality the ship’s captain commands.
Innovations have come to relieve these men of their work, and modern propulsion is refined, efficient, clean and self-controlled. But the spirits of the Black Gang live on, and the existence of hard work, sweat and toil is still a way of life for some in the marine world.
