Four years, and you owe them
About this video
You could spend four years on a whaling ship and come home owing the company money. Not a rare disaster. A normal, documented, entirely legal outcome that happened to green hands voyage after voyage, because nobody on a whaler earned a wage. Everybody was a shareholder, and the shares were calculated by the people who also sold you your boots.
