Taken

• Captain: The leader of the ship, the person who gives orders. The one in charge.
  
• First Mate: One under the captain, he or she will take over for the captain if needed.
  
• Quartermaster: In charge of maintaining order, distributing rations and supplies, delegating work, and guarding and dividing plunder.
  
• Boatswain (bos'n): Oversee several junior officers
  
• Gunner: A gunner would be the leader of any separate group manning the artillery. His special skill would be in aiming.
  
• Carpenter: A person in this apprenticed trade would use their skill to not only repair battle damage to masts, yards, hatches, and the hull, but to keep the ship's leaky seams in check with wooden plugs and oakum fibers.
  
• Surgeons, Cooks: surgeons would often be grabbed from crews of captured ships, although they would not be ordinarily be asked to sign the articles. He would be expected to deal with colds, fevers, or diseases with an assortment of mercurial medicines or other current treatments, and the carnage of battle often required amputations in hopes of saving the wounded.
  
  More often than not, a cook would be a disabled pirate who was allowed to stay on ship if he could make food that didn't kill the pirate crew. Perhaps it was felt that if a pirate crew survived his cooking, he could make something to help heal as a stand-in surgeon.
