Description


These are the sleeping accommodations aboard the U.S.S. Constitution, except a lot more crowded. I’m a little over 6 feet tall and banded my head many times. Those sailors must have been 5 feet tall to live in this ship. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

I suppose they had to have hammocks - difficult to have a bunk up there!!! Great shot Dana.

Nice shot of a classic "bedroom" on board the old sailing vessels. Taller men were used top-side. Hammocks are supposedly quite comfortable and do NOT entail you falling onto the deck as the ship rolls, which is why they were used. The sleeping person also remains quite still as the ship rolls. One can also pack people more closely in a confined space. The hammock rolls up and is easy to stow out of the way during the day. I'm still wondering about that white paint job - must be for the sake of the lighting. In battle, the decks and walls would be red. Keep up the good work! :)

Yes, it would be odd to have coworkers sleeping elbow-to-elbow like that, and what if the one in the middle had to get up to use the facilities? Would he knock everyone else out of their swing? Oh well, I guess it must have worked or they wouldn't have used them, eh? Great capture!
