In The Witch of Blackbird Pond, how did Captain Eaton make his living?

Captain Eaton made his living by being a sailor and an officer aboard the ship the Dolphin.  More specifically, Captain Eaton is the captain of the ship.


The Dolphin is a trading vessel, and the ship's classification is that it is a brigantine ship.  That means it is a two masted ship in which the main mast is tall enough to accommodate a minimum of two sails.  The foremast always is a square rigged mast.  Captain Eaton earns his living by supplying trade from location to location.  While he comes across as a bit gruff and rough, he is a man with high moral standards.  For example, he is willing to supply trade of all types, but he refuses to partake in the slave trade.  He refuses despite the fact that he could make a lot more money.
