captain\'s effects / master\'s own effects
English
Law/Patents
marine insurance trial
Hence a captain's effects and goods lashed on deck were not covered.
Apparently (though not quite certainly) the objection, that the goods lashed on deck were not covered by the description "goods," rested on the fact that they were on deck and so not part of the cargo, which normally would be under deck, and not on the fact that they were not merchandise but were the master's own effects
Dose this mean these people'S personal belongings??

: sounds like a' waiver' or something for insurance purposes, anything that is not 'cargo' is exempt/not covered for insurance purposes

Each time a buyer buys and need shipment he/she books a cargo or a seller sells goods that must be transported by an ocean going vessels. It is always negotiated prior to purchase the terms. i.e. F.O.B (freight on board) C&F (Cost & Freight) or C.I.F (Cost Insurance and Freight).
It is clear from the text that crew(s) personal effects are not part of the cargo that was insured. However, crew (s) personal belongings are mostly covered by the owner of the vessels, which is a matter between ship owner and crew(s) including captain. (this must be specific in written contract.

I agree with the answer as selected.
Just quick note about cargo. How good being transported are to be stowed is usually clearly set out in the contract of carriage.
Definitions of "deck cargo" :
1 - http://insource.nils.com/gloss/GlossaryTerm.asp?tid=1706
deck cargo (syn. on-deck cargo)
Ocean Marine Insurance — Cargo carried outside (on the deck) rather than within the enclosed cargo spaces of a vessel. Typically, cargo carried outside a ship's holds are more exposed to both the risk of foul weather and being lost overboard. It is less expensive to ship goods as deck cargo.
"Hence a captain 's effects and goods lashed on deck were not covered". It woudl appear that the insuracne contract in question did not provide cover for personal belongings and deck cargo.
