The quarterdeck of a ship is part of the top cover (exterior) including between the mainmast and the stern. In the ships of the line on the stern of the castle was built the deck, a deck extending from the mizzen up taffrail. Under the awning is installed dependencies captain cabin, office and lounge were on the same level as the castle. Also used to settle the cabins of the officers of higher rank. In the castle, just under the bow of the canopy, were located steering wheels where coxswains maneuvering. The castle and the poop were the hub of the ship, where was the captain and most officers. The officers went up to the poop to get a better perspective of the housing and the nearby, but when I started the match, came down the quarterdeck, and poop that were too exposed to shrapnel. It only remained for seafarers in charge of artillery pieces and the official flag hoisting and lowering the signal flags.
