Just one man in a crane and containers > everywhere My brother-in-law was in the Merchant Marine as a deck officer. The switch to containers came early in his career. No more exploring foreign ports. Dock at 2AM, be off again by 6AM. While he had a master's rating he never sailed higher than 2nd mate, and then only for 6 months out of the year. The Masters, Mates & Pilots union was parceling out work in a dying industry. Dying for US flagged vessels, that is. I'd considered that career in high school as an engineering officer rather than a deck officer. Thankfully I went in another direction.
