In large ships there was enough room for a good size galley. But what about the smaller brown water boats? Some of these must have been cramped, the need to store the items needed to run the boat took up much of the space the crew needing a fair amount of the extra space for sleeping. The galleys on these boat must have been tiny as well as the food storage area. My next question is what about fuel for cooking in the small galley?
Why is the cooking area on a warship called a galley? Why was the cooking area on a merchant ship called a caboose?
