From what I understand, the ship is much like it would have been around 1812, so I guess that's why the ceilings in the galley are so low. If I were five inches shorter, I might be able to clear the beams and walk around without hitting my head every two feet. (And the kids in the foc's'le think I make a lot of noises in our galley!)
It was dark - not a single window or skylight. And although they just paid $35,000 in renovations, it seemed like very little of that was cosmetic. There was a white board with the words, "Galley Goddesses" written on it. When I saw it, I nodded in assention. The woman who cooks there is a goddess. Someone in the last few days said that Mammoth's cook must be the hardest working person here. And they hadn't seen the galley. I know I would not be able to hack it.
I also got a quick peek on deck, and belowdecks where most of the crew sleeps on the soles - their belongings rolled up in sacks along the bulwarks.
I came back to the Marlin and looked around my galley and was felt lucky, especially given how little I knew about the boat before I showed up in Savannah.

Now that you are an experienced ship's cook you can often check out the galley by looking at the ship's plans. A good thing to do if working on historic ships! They all seem to be different and many have some interesting configurations. Thanks for all the news updates and info you passed along. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
