In Reply to: Boat deck iron work plan from H&W posted by Roy Mengot on January 31, 1999 at 14:00:23:
: Someone asked about the arrangement of the area around the officer's showers and the codes on the common deck plans. Port to starboard, the plans show Lavitory, bathroom, l, OS, and L. The lowercase L fore of the bath is a locker, thestarboard L is linen, and the OS is oil skins. I don't know what oilskins are used for.
Roy,
Oil skins=foul weather gear. Oilskins are fabric that has had an oily wax applied to shed water.
