Frank, you wrote "I hope you didn't think I was condescening to you". That was a new word to me and I had to look it up in my dictionary. No - I don't think you were! But you have added a new word in my vocabulary, thanks.
I agree with you that those advertisements are a good indicator of contemporary practice, but I still doubt that a ship's master (Finnish at least) would spend a single cent on something he was able to perform himself.
