Summary
| Description |
English: The whipstaff in the steerage compartment of Vasa. The photograph is taken from the port side. The ballustraded opening through which the helmsman had some view of the sails can be seen to the upper left. The rowle, the sliding bearing through which the whipstaff went is seen at deck level, with the whipstaff sticking vertically out of it. This compartment is at the level of the upper gundeck, but has higher vertical extent, having 3.46 metres of headroom (so that the full length of the whipstaff can be accommodated). The great cabin is to the right, so this compartment not serves as an important working area of the ship, but is also the antechamber to the great cabin. Hence it is the only below-decks working space that is ornamented with any carvings. |
