My First Cruise at Sea and the Loss of the Iron-Clad Monitor (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from My First Cruise at Sea and the Loss of the Iron-Clad Monitor
Quarters were small, there being only fourteen inches allowed for each hammock, while underneath, or perhaps over their heads, were the separate engines for working the extra attachments to the Vessel, and a man was rarely allowed to sit a moment on the berth deck, even if he had the leisure. The deck of the vessel, as is well known, was nearly even with the water, - along the sides it was only twelve inches above the surface, - and the ordinary waves in that locality would sweep the whole width of the vessel. I will venture to say that my feet were not dry once in the whole time I was on board the Monitor.
