What does calker mean?
A calker is a person who applies a layer of protective material, typically a sealant or a coating, to a surface, especially a ship's hull. This is often done to prevent damage from water or other environmental factors.
Example
"The ship's owner hired a team of calkers to apply a new coat of paint to the hull before the winter season."
