From left: John Webereg Jenson; second engineers; Knud Larsem; third engineers; Helmut Nielsen; chief engineer; Captain Rudolg Aarenstrup; and mess boy Bent Andersen. Life for them on the ocean ships isn't as lonely as life on lake freighters wintering in Toronto. Most of them have only a watchman aboard.
