sailorman
Ship crew member
A sailorman is a sailor—someone who works on ships or boats.
The word has a slightly old-fashioned or literary quality, evoking traditional seafaring life: The old sailorman told stories of storms at sea.
It appears in sea shanties and nautical fiction more often than in contemporary speech.
