mtaylor Posted December 12, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2021 One would have been for senior officer's use depending the ship and time period. On some, junior officer's heads were littterally at the head of the ship. On many ships, one gallery was for the Captain's exclusive use... some used it for a private office. As I said, a lot of variation and depends on the ship. Be a bit more specific to era, nation, and better which ship and answers can be more specific.

Many thanks Mark I'm currently working on HMS Agamemnon 1781... I've put led lights into it and am currently scratch building the cabins at the stern.... my plan is to have open doors leading to the Quarter Galleries so the light shines through... I can see the galleries level with the upper gun deck having a toilet on each side,,,, but didn't think the Captain would require 2 so I thought it may have had another use Many thanks Jim Edited December 12, 2021 by JamesT1 mtaylor 1 Quote Jim T Current build: HMS Agamemnon - Caldercraft - 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
