How did a dumb guy such as Brewster get promoted to captan? (I know, it’s only a comic strip, but in the fiction of the comic strip, why is Brewster a captan?)
The captain being able to perform a marriage ceremony is Not a total myth. In the 15th and 16th century a ships captain had the full authority of the King or Sovereignty of their nation. They could perform a marriage, or an execution for a crime. However in today’s world not so much. A US or UK captain can’t perform a marriage. But a Japanese caption can, as well as several other nations. Now for the fun part when you return to port in the US the marriage may not be valid.

There was this guy who married hundreds of people but he never got divorced or was widowed. How did he legally do that?
He was a justice of the peace.
