I just picked up a photocopy reference picture for an actual picture of people playing on the aft A deck of the Olympic. That shroud or electrical conduit that runs from the Boat deck to the mast is in plain view. It also has two eyebolts running through it like they were used to hang something off of them, like a punching bag in someone's basement. I think this thing was wooden and nothing more then a removable support for a canvas weather shade. This picture just ads to it. If I ever get an original picture, I'll be able to see it better. This thing has been one of those "can you prove" type objects. I've seen things like this on many other ships as well as the Britannic, where the boards extend over the fore well deck and aft across what would be the aft well deck.
Any other ideas?
