Where it comes from

From barge + -man.

noun bargemen

A member of the crew of a barge. Though Hambleden's parish register records the death, in 1753, of a bargeman 'Kill'd by accident, shooting ye lock', the turbulent waters of Mill End weir on the River Thames, about a mile from the village, still attract canoeists.
Similar: bargee, pug
A barge owner, maintainer, or captain of a barge.
slang A large white grub that frequently infested ship's biscuits; most likely a larva of the cadelle beetle, Tenebroides mauritanicus.
