part of the crew (like me for some time) used to live there. Below outside/inside cabins with the thrilling noise and vibrations of the propeller especially in rough weather. On Main deck the crew mess and/or cabin of bosun/carpenter/engine store keeper.
On other ships it might have been different. Anyway, close to the elements.
Brgds, Manfred
