Bridge Deck Overview

The Bridge Deck was the command center of the ship. It contained the Wheelhouse where the primary steering and transmitting of orders to the engine room took place, the Chart Room where navigational courses were plotted, and the Radio Room from where the ship’s primary communication for ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore was done.

The present-day radar and GPS plotter is also located on the Bridge deck.

This deck also contained the Master’s State Room and office, the Cadet’s quarters, and the Radio Officer’s quarters.
