Agree with Caulker - would fit with having a shipwright on the same page.

Caulker - He inserts the caulking (tarred hemp fibres) between the planks of a boat to make it water tight.

It's caulker. His job was to make the joints in a ship airtight.

Modified - Oops was going to post when I got called away by our builders who, at the moment are making our house anything but airtight - they're just removing the kitchen window. ::)

I think I'd prefer my ship watertight ;)
