A quick definition of bluewater seaman:

A bluewater seaman is a person who works on a ship and helps it do its job. They are not the boss of the ship, but they are important members of the crew. If a bluewater seaman gets hurt while working on the ship, they can get help from the law to pay for their injuries. Sometimes, people who work on ships doing other jobs, like exploring for oil or working on a cruise ship, can also be considered bluewater seamen.

A more thorough explanation:

A bluewater seaman is a type of seaman who is attached to a navigating vessel as an employee below the rank of officer and contributes to the function of the vessel or the accomplishment of its mission. They are also known as able-bodied seamen. They are covered under the Jones Act and the general maritime law, which means that if they are injured while working, they are entitled to compensation.

For example, if a bluewater seaman is working on a cargo ship and is injured while loading or unloading cargo, they can file a claim under the Jones Act to receive compensation for their injuries.

Another example of a bluewater seaman is someone who works on a cruise ship. They may not be responsible for navigating the ship, but they contribute to the overall function of the vessel by providing services to passengers.

Overall, a bluewater seaman is an important member of a ship's crew who helps to ensure that the vessel can operate safely and efficiently.
