Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  Â

Oh, my aching back with those hammocks! Spartan as all get out, and not exactly your typical bedroom environment. That said, nice shot of the low ceilng sleeping quarters, 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! :)

Talk about tight quarters. Cool image. :)

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!
