The common duties and corporal punishment for new sailors on board the ship often point to one thing - scrubbing the deck. They have done similar repetitive tasks, and everyone knows that it is a drudgery. Pushing and pulling to scrub the ground is very taxing on the waist and muscles.
It’s easy to get tired.
Most of the people who run the boats are young men in their teens to 20s and 30s. Those who are older can be exempted from entry-level labor based on their seniority level. Technical jobs such as damage control and engineering are too tight, and it is not their turn to work hard on the deck.

Sliding towards the water.
