In order to maximise space in the holds, the seaman’s quarters were built in bunk blocks on the main deck. By comparison with the quarters in a warship they were quite spacious and comfortable. They had their own galley which was also situated in one of the two bunk blocks.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
