I don't get it :

The Jim Crow persona is a theater character by Thomas D. Rice and a racist depiction of African-Americans and their culture. The character was based on a folk trickster named Jim Crow that had long been popular among enslaved Black people.

How would he have been in the Merchant Marine and owned those spoons?

Can't tell if serious or not acknowledging the laws and possible deliberate use of the name to reference the laws?

I figure Merchant Marines are as capable of troll Stanning as anyone? Even Troll stanning symbolic characters?

I am serious, I understood the story to mean the spoons where owned by somebody named
Jim Crow.
So they had Jim Crow embossed on the spoons because they were fans of the character?
Like a Knight Rider pen?
