Even underpowered early rail networks could usually reach places only an outrageously expensive canal might be built, and once Iron T-rails and higher powered locomotives became possible, the far cheaper to build railways were unfettered and independent upon water sources, whilst mostly unplagued by the seasonal problems (restricted by icing) of temperate latitude canals which suffered ice and 1873:, the focus of leisure time activity has shifted from having officer and crew bars, to simply having lounge-style areas where officers or crew can sit to watch movies. With many companies now providing TVs and DVD players in cabins, and enforcing strict smoking policies, it is not surprising that the bar is now a much quieter place on most ships. In some instances games consoles are provided for the officers and crew. The officers enjoy a much higher standard of living on board ocean-going vessels. 1296: 800: 1333: 1468: 4161: 2018: 265: 473: 1426: 749: 1390: 4173: 3407: 866: 1159: 839: 952: 4203: 4193: 1002: 1089: 2791: 4213: 1242: 4183: 1885:. Officers however, come from all over the world and it is not uncommon to mix the nationality of the officers on board ships. Officers are often the recipients of university degrees and have completed vast amounts of training in order to reach their rank. Officers benefit e.g. by having larger, more comfortable cabins and table service for their meals. 1189: 911: 712: 666: 1702:. All three positions are typically filled by unlicensed personnel.
