Maritime Terms Quiz

Sure, believe it was the area around the “tabernacle” where all the booms where seated on a yard and stay rig vessel. I could be wrong, it has been awhile.

No, now that I think about it, I think it was what we call the flybridge nowadays.

side note - has anybody ever heard the “nautical” term monkey island?[/quote]

Monkey Island is located in Cameron La. and is where the pilot station is for the Calcasieu channel leading to Lake Charles, La.

I am in my 6th week of experience in the maritime industry - all shoreside experience so far. I scored 5/12 and am not hurt to admit it.

Cool quiz!

Didn’t they shut down the Monkey Island ferry?

Yes - The ferry sunk in Hurricane Rita and the pilot sta is now on the west side.
If you work with any foreign mariners you will her the term monkey island in reference to the top of the bridge often.
