Ships, Sailing, Maritime | | Dutch term or phrase: sjorder | It refers to a man who has had several jobs in the maritime world. He had been a "sjorder, checker, maar ook als chauffeur...."
I'd appreciate any suggestions. I only found 'sjorren' which means 'lash, seize' and doesn't fit the context.
Thanks in advance for your help! |
