A look down into the galleon structure

Stockholm, Sweden

Note the two pin-rails. A "seat of ease", or toilet to you and me, can be seen between the gammon-lashings, just inside the side-wall of the galleon. The round-holed plank that tradition doth require on top of such a seat is missing, however. This arrangement on sailing ships is why naval toilets are still called "heads", in case you have always wondered but never dared ask.
