...Looks like one navy sailor and a petty officer, but I doubt the shipping line had black captains!!

The Black Star Line had 14 cargo ships out of Ghana, several took passengers, and ALL of their crew would have been GHANAIAN! Nkrumah established The Black Star Line shortly after the independance of Ghana.

Those were the good “old” days. IIRC the Jews were involved in the the shipping operation. Normally when speaking about the crew in this respect, I normally refer that to the deck and engine hands, the galley people but not the Captain!!!
