Captain (nautical)
"Sea Captain" redirects here. For The Simpsons character see The Sea Captain.
Captain is the traditional customary title given to the person in charge of a ship at sea.
On most legal documents in the merchant shipping industry, the captain is more formally referred to as the ship's Master. A nautical "captain" may be a civilian with a master's license or a naval commissioned officer of any rank.
