Weatherdeck And Aloft
The waist is the area of the ship between the quarterdeck and the fo'c'sle. With narrow gangways to either side, the main hatch is covered by gratings which, when removed, allow access right down to the hold. The ship's boats are stored here when not in use, and the chicken coops may also be found here. Above stretch the masts and spars.

The Gundeck
For'rard of the Great Cabin runs the sweep of the gundeck. Terpsichore carries 26 12-pounder guns on this deck, although only 24 are visible unless she has cleared for action (the other two are in the Great Cabin). The Navy expects its men to train every day at firing the 'great guns', even just in dumb show. Above the gundeck are the gangways and gratings which form its ceiling and allow air to circulate.

The Messdeck
This is where the sailors and Marines eat, sleep and relax. They mess in groups of six to eat around tables slung from the deck beams. At night, they sling hammocks between the beams. Each man is allocated fourteen inches of space between himself and those to either side, although in a two-watch rotational system, this means that they get twenty-eight inches as half the men are on watch at any one time. The berthdeck or messdeck is crowded, dark and noisy. The Marines berth between the wardroom and the seamen, roughly level with the mainmast.

Orlop and Hold
The orlop, above the hold, is not a continuous deck, but has two areas, reached separately. The after platform contains the hanging magazine, bread room, spirit room and the slop (clothing) room. The fore platform has the bosun's, carpenter's and gunner's storerooms and the sail room. This is the darkest part of the ship in every day use; it is lit only by dim lanthorns which must not be left unattended. The magazine and spirit room are guarded day and night by Marine sentries.

The Wine-Dark Sea
If it happens in the vicinity of HMS Terpsichore but is more dependent on the wind and weather than the actions of the enemy, it goes here.
