    I looked into sailing on tall ships years ago. It was incredibly expensive as a guest, and hard as hell to get into as crew.

      I would assume it is the same as any merchant mariner. Lots of licensing and training.

      Many European navies have these as training ships and it used to be quite common that you could sign up as a recruit and spend some time on board. Probably easier than becoming a trained crew otherwise.
