Passenger Quarters (Continued from Page 69) is practicable to have eight or more large rooms in the breadth of the vessel. A system with stateroom bulkheads arranged on the “stepped” principle, applicable particularly when a rela- tively small number of large state- rooms are desired in proportion to the vessel’s beam, is shown in plan 2 page 68. The “stepped” principle affords greater veranda width, and cor- responding greater range of vision from the windows of staterooms away from the ship’s side. This principle as well as the “sawtooth” principle can be applied to any number of staterooms dependent upon veranda space desired or permissable. of both plans Examination will Plan 1—New system with stateroom bulkheads on the sawtooth principle 102 show that the system consists of staterooms having direct access to. a veranda around which they’ are grouped. Doors to verandas and win- dows, giving a view of the sea, pro- vide fresh air through the veranda outboard openings, which may be en- tirely open, enclosed with sash, shell- ports or airports, according to the deck treated and the service of the vessel. Verandas are also, when de- sired, provided with wells which af- ford a circulation of air and light. This is especially desirable when rough or stormy weather might re- quire that the outside shell openings be kept tight. A general arrangement of decks applicable to ocean going vessels em- bodying a very practicable layout and an economical utilization of deck space has been worked out. Access applied MARINE REVIEW—April, 1927 to ocean going to saloons, stairs, public spaces and promenade deck is convenient to all rooms by means of a central passage connecting all verandas. Similar general arrangements ap- plicable to inland, bay and sound or river steamers where the greatest possible number of staterooms are de- sired, especially for short journeys have also been developed. The accompanying photograph A shows typical upper veranda enclosed as might be desired according to deck height above water line and service or trade in which vessel plies. If desired and conditions of service per- mit this veranda could also be open at the ship’s side. A lower veranda arranged with shell opening by means of hinged shellports is shown in photograph C.
