DBAndrus Posted December 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2013 Hello Were gun decks holy-stoned as the was the top deck? Trying to determine if the gun deck should be as light in tone as the upper deck. Thanks in Advance, DB Andrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted December 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 15, 2013 I am quite sure that all decks on which people lived where scrubbed in one way or another for hygienic reasons, though bacteria etc. at the time of sailing ships were not recognised yet. For the same reason, sides and ceilings where white-washed. The lime solution has a very high pH and acts as a mild bactericide. wefalck jud 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
