I just saw a coincidence too fun not to mention. I was watching a National Geographic special about ghost ships, and there was this commercial that was one of those desperate lawyer lawsuit ones--"If you've been injured in an [your choice of accident here]," etc. This one said: "If you've been injured while working on a ship, you are protected under the Jones Act." So apparently, if any of our crew gets hurt while on board the Caribou, they'll be okay for medical coverage! (Frying pan to the head, anyone? ) Jones has thought this through.

However, Ira wasn't a crewman at the time, and therefore I don't think he'd have been liable for coverage

Not to mention they were currently felons on the run, so probably not employees of the company. EMILY, however, would be good for the benefits. She was an employee of the company, taken as a 'hostage'. So she's good. >XD

Well, technically Ira WAS working. And he WAS on a ship. And that seems to fit all of the requirements.

Actually he was sneaking onto the ship to assassinate someone. That makes him a Terrist! (spelled wrong for extra humor value)

Well, and that is his work. So he was still working.

But does the law say the person must work on the ship or be at work while happening to be on the ship, therein lies the secret of Jones.
