A perusal of the lists illustrates how mobile—and how dangerous—life on the high seas could be. For every voluntary change at port, there were a number that were involuntary. As historian Simon P. Newman notes, seafaring was one of the most dangerous professions in the early republic (105). Richard Baker of the Missouri, for example, has died as a result of “accidentally breaking his leg.” James Beaty of the Magnet was “left at this port sick and unable to proceed to sea.” In addition, desertion from ships was not uncommon. Certifications of the crew list of the Mechanic states that three seamen have deserted the ship.

Crew lists can provide additional information to historians as well. They illustrate how multinational and multicultural crews were. The Magnet’s crew list contains sailors from Russia and Hamburgh (then an independent state) as well as the U.S. The Mechanic has a crew member who hails from Prussia. Both these crew lists describe some crew members as “free black”; in the Mechanic, George Taylor, and, in the Magnet, Francis Waters. Freeman Lattemore is described as a “free mulatto.” Men like these constituted nearly a quarter of the seagoing crews sailing from early Philadelphia (Newman 109). The record of their freedom would have provided protection against being captured and re-enslaved when their ships docked in the ports of slave-holding territory. Lists also show the wide variety in ages, from the Mechanic’s John Peters, 16 and just 3’10” tall, to Ralph Robson, 25 and a more average 5’9 ½”in height.
