The Cook was a petty officer with a berth in the aft deckhouse, who cooked the crew’s meals in the galley in the forward deckhouse.
The longest-serving cook, and petty officer, was James Robson, who sailed on ten voyages, 1885- 1895. Born in China, he was apparently found as a castaway when a baby and adopted by a sea captain and his wife, growing up in London before embarking on a career at sea.
