I’ve been through it once on a cruise ship in 1982. From memory they had to let a pilot on board and he brought his mate.

We used to hire a Gully Gully Man to entertain the sailors during the canal transit. No matter how much we would badger him, we just could not fathom how he managed to produce so many baby chicks during his magic tricks.
