NAUTICAL APPRENTICES AND THE NAVY TRAINING POLICY
The piece argues for expanding naval apprenticeship to supply skilled seamen, noting most American sailors come from British or Canada and that merchant shipowners resist apprenticeship duties. It argues a revived system benefits the navy and economy, compares conditions to past harsh training, and suggests fostering disciplined, hardworking youths for national service. It also references broader maritime talent, frontier trade, and the need for state-backed programs to sustain a robust merchant marine and naval manpower.
