Boatswain (also Bosun or Bos'n)
Generally, in naval parlance a Boatswain is a non-commissioned officer responsible for the sails, ropes, rigging and boats. This term comes from the Old English batswegen, meaning the boat's swain, or husband. Today in the RCN the term "Boatswain" refers to the professional seaman trade.
Often referred to as a Boatswain's pipe or whistle, it is non-diaphragm type of whistle used on naval ships. It consists of a narrow tube (the gun) which directs air over a metal sphere (the buoy) with a hole in the top. The player opens and closes the hand over the hole to change the pitch. The rest of the pipe consists of a "keel", a flat piece of metal beneath the gun that holds the call together, and the "shackle", a key ring that connects a long silver or brass chain that sits around the collar, when in ceremonial uniform.
