Second PSPS Visit to P.S. Waverley at Great Yarmouth

Report Part 3

Words and Pictures by Martin Longhurst

Now down another deck to the crew accommodation

These are the deck crew's cabins - all now with a wash basin

There are two bunks in each

This is the escape hatch to the Jeanie Deans lounge from below ...

... and this is the same hatch from above

Forced ventilation is now provided to the crew accommodation and the trunking is concealed in the new partition

This will become the Chief Engineer's cabin in the officers' and stewards' accommodation, which is divided from the deck crew's by a bulkhead.   The officers have single berth cabins.

The engineer's desk - note the absence of the telegraph - it would be mounted on the disk to the right of the five gauges
