seafaring

adj 2noun 2

Definitions

adj

1

Living one's life at sea.

There was absolutely nothing about the body to suggest that it might possibly in life have known a maritime experience. It was the body of a low type of man or a high type of beast. In neither instance would it have been of a seafaring race. Therefore I deduced that it was native to Caprona--that it lived inland, and that it had fallen or been hurled from the cliffs above.

2

Fit to travel on the sea; seagoing.

A rowing boat is not a seafaring craft.

noun

1

The act, process, or practice of travelling the seas, such as by sailing or steaming.

2

The work or calling of a seafarer, especially a sailor.
