Title
Notification of Increased Pay for Able Seamen
Description
In order to facilitate the recruiting process for the frigates the pay of able seamen has been increased to $17 per month. This incentive should help Rodgers to hire crew for the Constellation as soon as possible. Currently serving able seamen will receive a raise from their current $15 per month to the new sum; the raise is only for Able Seamen and not any other group.
