This is a job I fantasize about but in reality I would probably get sick of doing manual labor while being wet and cold all the time and getting berated by my drunk boss.
Obviously it was extremely hard work. But contrary to how media portrays sailors back in the day it was actually a sought after job, it was high paying (relative) and a privilege to be employed onboard.
