Knees, windlass's & Bilge Pumps

In these four photo's you can see the sleeping hammocks that were packed into the berth deck. The solid wood white painted knee's between decks. The next is the Capstan or Windlass located on the spar and gun decks well back in the ship, used to maneuver heavy objects like anchors and sails. The forth is the bellows type bilge pumps used to pump water out of the bilge of the ship.
