They are sailors that have missed their ship due to several reasons,sickness, jumped ship,drunk and in jail. They get shipped back with the term DBS (Distressed British Seaman).
All the motley crew on GD2 have been DBS at least twice in their career and if you sail long enough you have it to look forward to.
