ubefaren matros ?
Guessing, remembering Carsten Jensen´s ´Vi de Druknede´
Gyldendals gives ´not able bodied´ for ubefaren.
Compare befaren, halvbefaren and related terms, also under sømand.

I should probably clarify for future generations of puzzled linguists - I intended to write "Ub(efaren) matros" above. :-)
