when is the earliest recorded working of the royal ark mariner degree
Claims exist that a Grand Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners was reconstituted in 1772, though the early history of the degree remains obscure, as Mark Masons' Hall notes. The same body records references indicating that the degree was being worked in Mark Lodges by 1790.

what are the duties of the commander in a royal ark mariner lodge and where did the title come from
A Royal Ark Mariner lodge is governed by a Worshipful Commander rather than a Worshipful Master, as Mark Masons' Hall states. The title and nautical theme of the officer arise because the degree relates to the legend of the Deluge and the building and voyage of Noah's Ark as recorded in Genesis, according to Mark Masons' Hall. Early accounts from 1798 record that the presiding officer of a Royal Ark Vessel was styled "Grand Noah".
