Hi Mac,

Ahh I think I get what you mean Rowan. The keel would be what the men in the boiler rooms would be standing on. The bottom layer. And the siding of the ship(Part that the ice popped open) would be the hull?


That's not quite true. The keel is only on the centreline, forming the ship's 'backbone' and key to the double bottom structure. The boiler rooms had their own floor plating, upon which stokers would stand and feed the furnaces with coal.

The hull structure includes the keel and double bottom.

Best wishes,

Mark.
