	==Historical Overview==		==Historical Overview==
	The word boatswain has been around in one form or another longer than Modern English has (Modern English only dates back to the beginning of the Renaissance). It is derived from late Old English batswegen, from bat ("boat") + Old Norse sveinn ("swain"), meaning a young man, a follower, retainer or servant. Various phonetic spellings (such as "bosun" and "Bos’n") have also been in use through the centuries.<ref name="wp">{{wp}}: "[[wikipedia:Boatswain\|Boatswain]]"</ref>		The word boatswain has been around in one form or another longer than Modern English has (Modern English only dates back to the beginning of the Renaissance).

	Originally, on board sailing ships the boatswain was in charge of a ship’s anchors, cordage, colors, deck crew and the ship’s boats. The boatswain would also be in charge of the rigging while the ship was in dock. The boatswain’s technical tasks have been modernized with the advent of steam engines and subsequent mechanization.<ref name="wp"> </ref>		Originally, on board sailing ships the boatswain was in charge of a ship’s anchors, cordage, colors, deck crew and the ship’s boats.
