Quarterdeck, английский
- The aftermost deck of a warship. in the age of sail, the quarterdeck was the preserve of the ship`s officers.
- [1] when decks were in tiers, a halfdeck was half the length of the vessel, and the quarter- deck was half of that. [2] formerly, a deck above the main deck on the after part of the ship, containing helm and compass, used by captain and officers to control a sailing warship. the weather side was traditionally reserved for the captain when on deck; other officers were free to use it while he was below, but scurried to clear it as soon as he appeared. if there was no weather side, the captain took the starboard. [3] nowadays, a warship’s quarters are frequently cluttered with aaa guns, depth charge racks and other paraphernalia, so the quarterdeck is that part of the main or upper deck designated by the captain for official functions, honors, and ceremonies, and as the station of the officer-of-the-deck. it is usually, but not necessarily, aft near the principal accommodation ladder or brow. [4] the quarterdeck has immense ritual significance to naval seamen—see salutes and courtesies.

- A trading vessel employed in importing and exporting goods to and from any quarter of the globe.
- A vessel engaged in commercial trade, excluding vessels operating solely within harbor limits, and river and estuarial craft (also merchant ship, cargo ship, freighter).
