Roger Pellett Posted March 1 #225 Posted March 1 Valeriy, great work as usual. I’m sure that you noticed the split accommodations for the crew; one before the stack and one behind it. This was typical of steamships built in British shipyards for the British Merchant Marine. The reason? The Deck Crew insisted on separate accommodations from the Engineers! At the Beginning of World War II, the famous American Naval Architecture firm of Gibbs and Hill was contracted to modify the design of the the British Ocean class cargo ship design for American mass production, the result being the famous Liberty Ship. The Oceans featured deck crew quarters separate from the engineers. Gibbs and Hill eliminated this silly feature, combining everything into one deck structure.

Valeriy V Posted March 1 Author #226 Posted March 1 Thank you Roger! If I understand you correctly, the crew of the ship was located approximately like this. davec, FriedClams, Canute and 11 others 14 Quote
IronShips Posted March 1 #227 Posted March 1 Hi Valeriy, Not sure if BLAGOEV had any crew accomodation in the Fo‘c‘sle, although this was on many ships the case or even standard, as Roger said very correctly. Space in the Fo’c’sle on BLAGOEV appears to me as too small for the deck crew of a vessel of this size and on the photo of BLAGOEV you have posted no portholes in the fo‘c‘sle are visible, although both would not have stopped a shipowner to squeeze some crew in there… 😞 More importantly, crew accommodation in the Fo’c’sle are not indicated in the sideprofile of BLAGOEV, whilst all other accomodations are. Engineers accomodation were at the side of engine room casing, as indicated on the profile. Captains Cabins was traditionally located in the fwd Deckhouse on the starboard side. Best regards, Daniel Keith Black, FriedClams, Valeriy V and 2 others 5 Quote
Valeriy V Posted March 2 Author #228 Posted March 2 Hello Daniel! Yes, I agree with you. Judging by the wooden deck flooring, there were no living quarters under the forecastle. This means that the ordinary crew was located only in the room below the deck of the poop deck. Mirabell61, FriedClams, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote

amateur Posted March 26 #233 Posted March 26 Just an observation: there is never any dust in any of your pictures.
