Quixotic1 posted:May I also add this show makes me want to find out more of the sailor terminology and tech of the era. For example, double steering wheels with one guy in-between them, covered entrances to get below deck, and the whole discussion about what the dog's rank was was tops when I saw a chart somewhere that shows what a mess rankings was back then. I can answer those questions. The reason for the double wheels are two fold. Steering is basically ropes wrapped around a barrel between the wheels, down to pulleys and on to the rudder. If you have a big loving wheel on one side of the barrel and tension from ropes away from the center, it creates torsion and the the deely is horribly unbalanced. The bigger the wheel, the bigger the barrel and the more wraps around it, creates a lot of fine adjustment. Secondary it gives a boat two helmsman in bad weather or in an emergency, holding course in a storm with following seas or a crashing up and down big swell and your helmsman ends up banjaxed, you have a backup. Going beam on to the waves is pretty much game over. Hence why the rudders and steering systems where overbuilt like motherfuckers. The hatch/companionway is to keep water out. Naval ranks were a clusterfuck. I can't help. If you didn't have a stateroom, you didn't matter.
