Black gang (ship)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The black gang is the part of a ship's crew that works in the engine room.[1] They were called 'black' because of the soot and coal dust that was thick in the air in the fire room/engine room. The term began usage in the days of the coal-fired steam-ships. The term is commonly used in the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard to describe personnel in "M" and "B" divisions.
