I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'exulted over the seafarers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'exulted over' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'over' could be 're' and 're' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crew that I've seen before include "Made early call" , "Work party" , "Ship's or aircraft's staff" , "This male hair style is closely cropped" , "Vaunted" .)
