Willing to work on a ship? don't know ....but you never see the jobs advertised do you? My view is that it isn't a case of Europeans not willing to do it, we don't get the chance. You do see some Eastern Europeans but not many, & remember people from countries regarded as "poorer" are flocking to the UK & will do literally anything, given the choice of picking potatoes in sub zero conditions for 12 hours a day for slave wages or working on a ship I know what I would do.
