They are trying to become friends with Charlotte. Zachariah gave her the knife and is always helping her. Captain Jaggery was talking with her and told her where he keeps the guns and some of his personal life so that she would trust her.
To impress Charlotte, to make her think he is a good captain.
Alex m. 1 blue. Because he wanted them to be prepared for bad weather
Barlow said he did it just to exert his authority. It was all for show.

They want her to stay protected and want to be friends with her
Charolette thinks that Zachariah and captain Jaggery are courting her because they talk to her and give her advice about what to do and what not to do on the ship. They also try to protect her from danger.

Captain Jaggery knows she has a knife and he knows she is going to have to do something with it. She doesnt want the knife but they give it to her for her for her protection.
Zachariah was courting Charlotte by giving her a dirk for her protection from the crew mates. Caption Jaggery was courting her by saying to her that if anything was troubling her or she saw something mysterious then to her him and he will put a stop to it
