In 1724, a "cockswain" was defined as "An officer of a ship who takes care of the cockboat, barge or shallop, with all its furniture, and is in readiness with his crew to man the boat on all occasions." When the term "cockboat" became obsolete, the title of coxswain as the person in charge of a ship's boat remained.

The primary duty of a coxswain is to ensure the safety of those in the boat. In a race setting, the coxswain is tasked with m ...
