I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is the term for a ship's cargo manager?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the later 1890s and into first decade of the 20th century, structural changes occurred in the operation of the Pacific trading companies; they moved from a practice of having traders resident on each island to instead becoming a business operation where the supercargo (the cargo manager of a trading ship) would deal directly with the islanders when a ship visited an island.". Is that enough to answer the question?
