I know it is a weird question. But I love hearing about one of our (I'm American) earliest warships. But I am finding surprisingly little information about the ship online. I may be looking in the wrong places.
Anyway, I pretty much know about the rest of the ship. But when looking at the schematics, I am noticing there appear to be two bedrooms in the Captain's quarters. Since the officers themselves have a separate are for quarters, who uses the second bedroom? And which one is designated the Captain's?
On a slightly related note, do the walls to the Captain's quarters get taken down during battle like the British ship in Master and Commander? (I like that movie even though we were enemies with England at the time.)
The large space right to the rear of the ship (furthest aft) is the "great cabin," which could be used for entertaining, or as a working space, or both. Forward of that were a sleeping cabin, mostly just to hang a hammock or cot in, and a day cabin or coach. The day cabin might be used for meals if the captain were alone, or for a dressing room, or for smaller meetings than the great cabin called for. The sleeping cabin and coach gave out directly to the binnacle and ship's wheel, so the captain was immediately available for decisions.
Yes, all those spaces would be cleared for going into action.
