Shipowner

Couch

The person who is dedicated to assembling furniture is known as an assembler.

The term shipowner has several uses recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) and even others that do not appear in the entity's dictionary .

The meaning of the concept is linked to the verb assemble : prepare, adjust, join or found something; contribute or do what is necessary to achieve an objective; provide weapons to someone.

furniture maker

The first meaning mentioned by the RAE refers to the individual who is dedicated to assembling artifacts or furniture . In this sense, the assembler is responsible for assembling and attaching the different pieces or sections in the appropriate way, ensuring that the result of his work is obtaining a finished product ready to use.

Shipowners must have knowledge about what they assemble. They have to know where each segment is installed and how the connection should be made so that it is stable and consistent.

Many furniture makers work at home . In this way, they move to the home of someone who has a piece of furniture to assemble and they dedicate themselves to carrying out the work.

Guard

In basketball, the point guard is the player who organizes his team's offense.

The notion in the naval field

In the field of navigation and boats, a shipowner is a subject or a company whose function is the equipment and provisioning of a ship . Thanks to the work of the shipowner, the ship is prepared to sail and remains in good condition to carry out its movements.

It is important to mention that the shipowner is not always the owner of the ship nor the one who exploits it economically. These roles may or may not coincide: specifically, the person, whether legal or physical, who assumes responsibility for the exercise of navigation is called shipowner. What it does is provide the ship with everything necessary for its operation.

The owner, captain or crew member of a privateer ship

Another meaning of shipowner refers to the crew member or captain of a privateer ship . At this point it must be clarified that a privateer ship was one that had a license to go privateering (that is, developing a campaign against enemy trade or pursuing vessels from opposing sides).

The marquee patent was an authorization that the government of a nation granted to the owner of a vessel to carry out offensive actions against enemies. Thus, the ship joined the national navy.

The shipowner, therefore, worked on these ships or was in charge of one of them. The Englishman Francis Drake , for example , was a well-known privateer.

The point guard in basketball

The basketball player whose mission is to organize and direct his team's offensive plays is called point guard , guard or point guard . Therefore, “set up” the game.

Although in modern basketball the positions are dynamic, at a general level it can be stated that the point guard is the one who takes the ball when his team begins an attacking action and moves it to the opposing field. He is the one who selects which play will be executed, indicating it to his teammates so that they position themselves in the appropriate place and move according to what the tactics indicate.
