fv1609 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Blimey! each deck and is a different shape narrower at bottom? A very sensible answer Bernard I hadn't thought of that explanation. The publication I'm looking at doesn't seem to specify the location of the hammocks, the layout is dependant on the users of the hammocks. The upper layout is 21ft in full length, whereas the lower arrangement extends to 27ft. If it is any help the requirements are laid down in: Regulations for the Sea Transport Service (With Specifications for Fittings) to be observed in respect of Ships employed by the Government of India as Transport or Freightships. 1940 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I wonder if the troop layout is to allow sailors past on either side, while the sailors layout implies they are not on duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite possible I suppose. No explanation was given but space must have been at a premium particularly when women were transported as "the space required for women is four and a half times that required for a corresponding number of men."
