What is it called when men are forced into service aboard a ship?

When men are forced into service aboard a ship, it is called "press-ganging" or "pressing." This practice historically involved the coercion of individuals, often through threats or violence, to serve in the navy or on merchant ships. It was particularly prevalent in the 18th and early 19th centuries, especially by the British Royal Navy. Press-ganging was seen as a way to quickly replenish ship crews during times of war or conflict.
