Main deck

The main deck served as the 'dormitory' for an average two hundred sailors. The entire deck was crammed with sea chests and ditty bags. The crew members who were on watch worked on deck and in the rigging. Sailors off duty rested in their hammocks, sang sea shanties or exchanged tall tales.
