Dance Information

A deck is a permanent covering over a compartment or a hull of a ship.

The Quarterdeck can mean either the part of the upper deck behind (abaft) the mainmast, including the poop deck when there is one, usually reserved for ship's officers, guests, and passengers. Also it can mean the area to which a gangway for officers and diplomatic guests to board the vessel leads. Also any entry point for personnel.
