crewmen

Boat staff members

Crewmen is the plural of crewman, referring to male members of a crew, particularly on ships, aircraft, or spacecraft.

The term has largely given way to the gender-neutral crew members in contemporary usage, though crewmen persists in historical contexts and some traditional maritime settings.

The crewmen prepared the vessel for departure.
