Insignia

Engineer Officers bear the same number of stripes, on cuffs and on epaulettes, as Deck Officers with the complementary rank. For instance, a Chief Engineer bears 4 stripes, as a Captain does, but they are distinguished by the cuffs and epaulettes bearing the Engineer's Blue or purple between the stripes. Engineer's blue is a highly pigmented paste used to assist in the mating of two or more components There is a popular legend that Engineers wear the color purple, granted by the King (royal purple) in honor of the RMS Titanic's Engineers who never abandoned their stations and went down with the ship. Construction The Titanic was a White Star Line ocean liner built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland But that colorful story is not quite correct, for such an insignia has been worn by Royal Navy engineers at least since 1864. The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of the British armed services (and is therefore known as the Senior Service) A more probable origin dates back to the 1830s, when Joseph Whitworth invented the method of making truly accurate flat surfaces, by using Engineer's blue. The method is also used for testing bearing and journal surfaces. It may be this color, that Engineers wear.

A different means, of differentiating Engineering officers from Deck officers, is by the insignia above the stripes. In some merchant fleets, a propeller is located above the Engineer's stripes, whilst an anchor or a diamond is located above the Deck officer's stripes.

Background

A ship's crew is divided into two distinct sections: those who navigate the ship and those who maintain the machinery and controls, carrying out all repair functions on-board. The navigators are deck officers and report to the Master (also functionally referred to as Captain), which is a Naval rank. Captain is the traditional customary title given to the person in charge in command of a Ship at sea Engineers are running and maintaining all machinery, reporting to the Chief Engineer. See also Seafarer's professions and ranks A Chief Engineer is a Licensed mariner in charge of the Engineering department on a Merchant vessel Also on board are the crew or 'Ratings', who are 'other ranks' or hands who, though not officers, play a key role in running the ship by assisting the officers in daily operations. In the Engine department, this includes Wiremen (who assist Electrical Officers), Fitters, Motormen (or donkey greasers, depending on nomenclature)and Wipers or utilitymen who play a large role in the daily upkeep of the engine room.

The original term Engineers (on a ship) meant the technical people who dealt with the engines , as opposed to the Consulting Engineer concept (their counterparts on land). Marine Engineers are generally more 'hands on', and often get dirty, sweaty and work in arduous conditions with temperatures in the engine room spaces exceeding 45 - 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). Patience and a logical approach needs to be maintained at all times, especially when dealing with heavy machinery in a seaway. Managing the 'rough' engine-room crew is not a job for the faint hearted!

There are 4 classifications of Marine Engineering licences throughout the merchant marine, those being Chief Engineer, First Assistant/Second Engineer, Second Assistant/Third Engineer, and Third Assistant/Fourth Engineer. See also Seafarer's professions and ranks A First Assistant Engineer (also called the Second Engineer in some countries is a licensed member of See also Seafarer's professions and ranks A Second Assistant Engineer or Third Engineer is a licensed member of the Engineering department See also Seafarer's professions and ranks The Third Assistant Engineer, also known as the Fourth Engineer, is a licensed member of the Engineering Those who join without experience are Fifth Engineers / Trainee Marine Engineers (TMEs) or Junior Engineers. Those who join without an engineering licence are given the rank of Engine Cadet. Engine Cadets usually only work under the supervision of a watchkeeping engineer. They are mostly only day workers and are usually given one day off per week to study for gaining their licenses.
