Description:
The steward was in charge of the captain's cabin and managing provisions. On a large ship, he oversaw the cook's work. If the captain's family was aboard, sometimes there was a stewardess, occasionally the wife of the steward. In the late nineteenth century, the steward was often from China or India.
