Second Cook

The Second Cook was usually the baker. He was responsible for the breads, pies, cakes, pastries, and cookies that were so plentiful aboard the ship. The Second Cook would usually start work early (0400-0500), so that a fresh batch of doughnuts and pastries would be ready for breakfast. He also made salads and relish trays and served the Officers' Dining Room. Like all members of the Galley staff, he helped attend to the linens, groceries, and cleanliness of this area.
